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 Rain - I am on the opposite side of the country (Florida) - but my SR is SHIP 12/ Div 003 too. I received his box last week, and his form letter yesterday with a short hand written note on back. No "real" letters from him yet. I also got a super surprise phone call on Saturday - 2 minutes only, but it was an unexpected treat!
Welcome to the group!
