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."

Got a letter today also. She gets mail everyday, but Sat and Sun. She can only write on Sun. Food is great. Shes been doing night duty watch and will be carrying a flag during graduation. Some girls in her div are not getting along and the whole div has to pay for that by doing push-up ect. Im praying that they can get it together soon because if not this could be bad.

I got 3 surveys and 3 letters from my SR today!! Happy Dance time!! He said his DIV can now write on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as Sundays. :) He also said they start working on team building exercises today (date on envelope 03/28). He said there are alot who need to learn to work as a team because it would make things WAY easier on all of them if they could just come together and help each other out. He said - "On a brighter note - 33 DAYS LEFT!" He sounds very positive and ready to get graduation behind him. HOOYAH!!

Although he misses everyone so much, he sounds good. Oh I can't wait.....tomorrow is April...yeah....I hope that all of you get letters too!!!
