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."

you got a call! The boys are okay too! I hope it's just shin splints too. It probably is. The shoes the military issues are really crappy. I hope the xrays are okay. If you get to talk to him tomorrow tell him we're all pulling for him and hello to everyone there!
No letters today :( Stupid holiday!

I Told him that all families on NFM were all chatting and wondering whats going on.. I told him to pass on to everyone we are all anxious to here from our SR's. He did say everyone has the Ricky Crud.. A number of the boys / girls were ill on the first PFA test, so they will take it later.. He did pass his swim test so he was happy about that.. He said he would try to call tomorrow after the xrays were done.. At least it sounds like they are treating him correctly ( Medical Dad here), so I am happy with that. Will keep everyone posted on any new we hear. GO NAVY!
PS. EVERYONE IS GETTING MAIL.. THEY LOVE IT.. HE GOT 9 LETTERS LAST NIGHT. YOU'D THINK IT WAS CHRISTMAS THE WAY HE SOUNDED !

Hope your Matt is okay! I have been worried about the CRUD! It's that time of year and those that are prone to allergies are in a new area with all new allergans to be exposed to! My Matt did not sound congested on his message today but he was talking low and fast so I can't tell for sure.
