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."

Doritos,
Did you receive a call yesterday? I spoke to my son almost an hour!! It was so good to hear his voice. He is sick and had ingrown toe nails removed, otherwise its getting slightly better, he said. I'll take that!! I forgot to ask about any in his division NOT getting mail, he said he has received the most mail and the guys are jealous, oops. I will try to find out if any are not getting mail so I can send some encouraging cards!! I hope you got your call!!!

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know a sailor with the last name of Mo*(OPSEC)? Evidently he's not getting any mail. Poor guy.
Also, does anyone remember the email to ask for free phone cards for our boys?
Thank you!
*Edited to remove last name

I sent 6 boot camp questionnaires to div 177 sr's not getting mail, I haven't received any replies--I sent self addressed stamped envelopes, too!! I tried to get something to the SR's not receiving mail. Hope Mo got one!!! My son said the cards sent by the 3rd graders REALLY made a statement, he said you could have heard a pin drop-- it was silent while the guys read the cards!!!! Wahoo, Leesa!!! Great Job!!!!
