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."

Yay, I got a call too...he called his GF she was able to conference us in. Thank you Mala!!!! It was so great to hear his voice. He didn't sound hoarse..said he was shouting from his diaphragm to save his throat. Speaking of the Christmas break, does anyone know the dates they will be free to leave and have to be back???

My son also was able to call this evening - called his fiancee. She said he was hoarse and exhausted but otherwise things were going better than expected. They had their PT test and he felt like he did fine.
