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."

It has been really quiet over the past week. We didn't get a letter this week and I was really bummed, however I just spoke to my mom today and she received one. It was nice and upbeat. He says things are still going well. Sorry I missed your call earlier...so happy to hear you extended your stay! :)
