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'm glad the boyfriend made the list above fruit loops, but I would have put chocolate higher. LOL My daughter requested steak and sushi.

"E" Has just requested his Cell phone!!! When I asked him if he wanted sweats and his tennis shoes for the 8 hour car ride home...he said he had his Navy Recruit sweat Suit and tennis shoes if needed. Since we are taking him from Boot Camp home right after PIR and then he reports directly to A School in Florida...he will have his entire belongings with him when he leaves PIR!! HoooooRAH!!!
