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."

My SR is also going to San Antonio. Where did you order the flashcards and coloring book? I will check out my US Reps website because that sounds like a great idea.

I think there is a heading called 'services', then click on that and then click on flag requests. Hope that helps!

Good morning ladies....still no letter yestday and no phone call....fingers crossed for today, but I think if they mailed letters on Monday we should start getting them tomorrow??? Anyway...had a GIANT nightmare that Eric wasn't calling because they sent his iPhone back and he couldn't remember anyone's phone number because they are all just contact in the phone. So just in case I sent him a letter this morning with everyone's phone number on it. LOL I can be a bit dramatic sometimes!!
