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."

Hi Quancewifey
I don't think they send grad packs anymore. Did you print off your parking pass form the original form letter that came abut a 1-2 weeks after he left? Your info is no that letter. If his BS is today you should get a call tomorrow afteroon. The last letter I recieved was last Friday, but they are really busy preparing for graduation adn BS. Hang in there, we're almost there.

Well the old addage "no news is good news" is certainly true! We got "news" today and it isn't good! Daniel is getting a medical separation from the Navy. I don't know anymore details at the moment! I wish you and your families all many happy memories! I will be thinking of you all and your smiles and tears on the 9th!

I was affraid I would do that, the day after Daniel l went on a diet, have lost 21 lbs since he left. After his last letter I think we just exchanged it because he had gained almost that much.
