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."

Ladies , my lovely daughter has not sent me a letter (yet) either. Hmmm. We are writing daily . I know they are busy- hoping for tomorrow!

I just wonder how it is decided who writes and who doesn't. Same with the phone calls. It really seems to be hit or miss among all the different divisions.
I have been blessed with both a phone call and a letter. Now I don't expect any more calls until the "I am a sailor" call, but I hope a get a couple more letters before PIR.
I hope everyone gets something this week to make them feel better knowing their child is doing well and is happy right now.
