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."

Thank you for the answers Brenda Sue! I will pass the information along to him.
Just got a "real" letter from him FINALLY ~ my first since he left on 1-10-11! So I am having a few slices of pizza, a glass of wine and a lil dance! He is proud to announce he has gotten a ribbon for marksmanship and one for some sort of PT excellence. He is not sure. ha ha And still is the division commander?...
I am the newbie here.
He sounds very proud, says he is happy and LOVING IT!
OORAH
