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."

Good Afternoon! My SR is in division 287. Can't wait to hear from him also. It feels like it has been forever since I last saw him or heard his voice. I can't wait until I can see him face to face on graduation day!

Hello, my SR is in Div 287. We live in Chicagoland and get morning mail delivery here and have to say . . . I got a letter from him today! :). He sounds good. Says he can tell he loves the Navy but hates boot camp. . . Not being able to communicate with us. But he sounds well. Tells us he wants us to write and tell him everything! Very thankful for this communication today. Think I'll write a letter this afternoon.
