OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Jeanne - D's girlfriend got a letter and we didn't either! Maybe the mail isn't getting to NC :) LOL I did get a call yesterday and he sounded good. He is ready for BC to be over. I am doing good. Getting used to not having him around. I am really busy with my girls so it hasn't been too hard of an adjustment. How are you? Susan

Jeanne,
I've only received one letter, but also found out that a friend of his got a letter and she lives in PA. A called me yesterday, but it went straight to my voice mail because my daughter and I were texting at the time. :( He said he would call again on Tuesday.
Have you been able to get into the PIR 12/17 group? If not, here's the link again. You really should join it, we have tons of information on there. We are on there almost every day.
