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."

I just spent a week in Key Largo getting married. I'm very happy however my phone call from Matt came while I was there and I missed it :( He left me a long voice mail though. He does say that Kyle is pretty cool. We are from central MN. I am so excited for the kids. Matt says the physical stuff is ok but the learning and the yelling is hard. I keep checking facebook hoping for a picture of him.
