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."

Yeah ladies...I'm so glad we are corresponding and that all of us received form letter today. Mailed on the 16th, three mail days!! I have to say my son has always had horrible hand writing and the envelope and blanks were done so neatly. I questioned if at first if it was his hand writing but I could recognize certain letters with his style. How about yours?
We are from Livingston, Montana, where is everyone else from? I'm excited to see him for graduation too. I will book in the next day or two. Our son is gunnersmate, how about yours?
The form letter was way better then the "BOX", now that we received both of them hopefully we will get a real letter or better yet a phone call! Hope to hear back from both of you.

Hello Ladies,
We are from Ramona California. I too am anxious to get a real letter. My son is AECF and we won't know for a few weeks if he is FC or ET...so many letters. Geeze the military has a love for shortening things. It is like a language all it's own. We are looking forward to PIR. I booked the hotel, airline and rental car today. I didn't want to miss out on the prices they have right now. I booked at the Navy Lodge because of the time of year we will be going. February can be really snowy in Chicago...don't want to be too far from the base.
