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."

Thanks, Janet. Joy, we got 3 letters in one yesterday. I know that he is also writing to his GF, his 2 yr old nephew and sister, and one of his brothers, and his cousin who was in the Navy 8 years ago. I send him the stamped envelopes, and others get the letters. That's ok though. I get the news from them. Enjoy your lettters. carol

Sjo even if I can't make it to the meet and greet, will I get to meet some of you at PIR? Do you wear the labels on Friday? Should I put my name down for one just to wear Friday? Thanks for doing it.

Good news, We got our letter today. Actually it was 3 letters, written on the 27,29 and30. He's doing well, he passed his PFA. On the 31st it was 4-2. He has 5 weeks in FL and should get 14 days leave after. He was having his 2nd PFA last week also. It's hard to keep track of his time line. Any way he is fine and I'm feeling happy for him. Thanks for listening to my rambling.

I pray that any administration will always put the men and women who protect our right first in their decision making. Our kids are the ones who give them the privilege to be in the administration in the first place. God Bless America!

We haven't heard anything yet either. I really pray there's a letter tomorrow, or by Thursday for sure.

Kathy, I'm glad your son is going to be fine. You will enjoy having him around again, if just for 6 months. I know he will do fine and when he reenlists, it will go better. God Bless you all. carol
