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 made a hotel reservation this morning. Feels good to have gotten something accomplished that will bring me closer to my son. I guess that sounds crazy but I figure you guys know what I'm talking about. We have a reservation at the Residence Inn, a two bedroom suite. I figure my SR is going to want to spend some time relaxing and catching up with friends on the computer. The suite has two bathrooms and a full kitchen. There will be five of us and it was actually cheaper than getting two rooms.

Oh yes, I hate stalking the mail lady. But he sounded very upbeat and like he's getting the hang of it. So I'm pretty happy right now.

I GOT A LETTER!!! It was written yesterday, so their mail IS going out. Of course, the whole area there is about to be dumped on with snow...so the mail might be affected, but not until Wednesday I would think. He said that all their RDCs are tough but fair - which is all we can ask for.

I didn't get a letter today either...and I haven't talked to the girlfriend for a week. So, I don't know if she did or not. But you are right ...it is good to hear when others do...so please keep sharing.

That stands for Seaman Recruit. That is what every Sailor starts the Navy at.
