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 got two letters from Marion. Yippie
First letter was the 20th and he had just had surgery to have his wisdom teeth pulled. He said he was high and sleepy but wanted to let me know they cut his lip off. OMG!!
Next letter was the 21st said he was sorry and he was high from the medication. They did not cut his lip off but they did cut his lip..He got six stitches and is scarred for life. My poor baby. I bet he still has cute lips...lol He did tell me not to worry. YEAH RIGHT!!!
He could not change his job so he is still HT. He is ok with that. But he will not be grad and go. AWESOME!!!! -

I think we have discusssions going on 343 and 344....I don't think the 343 group knows about the young man that tried to commit suicide and I'm afraid to say anything........
@ Nicksmom, yes, I'm feeling the same way, it doesn't feel good to hear such a story! I feel so helpless...
I'm so glad to be able to have such GREAT NAVY FRIENDS! Thank you for showing how much you care about your recruits! They need support and love and I'm so glad to be a part of N4M's!! -

I read about the young man who tried to take his life. I am thankful he did not accomplish it. But I feel for his loved ones as much as I do for him. God Please keep all our loved ones safe. Keep them strong and hold them in your hands and comfort them always but hold them just a bit closer till we are able to see them again. Amen
