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."

Hi Kim, What a great idea, i would love to have another sailor with us. (are there really kids that don't have anyone come?) I can't even imagine that. :(...
Did anyone find any AMAZING pizza place that you'd recommend? (Chicago is the place for pizza,right?) or any other places. It would save me some time looking. Now that i will have a GPS i can go right to it.

Kim...cute, ya, I'm prejudice. Not sure she'd agree with "tiny". She is 5'7" and about 140#. In her first letter home she wrote 2 sentences. Her first sentence was: "I am such a lard ass" !! I just laughed. She realized she was a bit more out of shape than some of her fellow mids!!
