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."

We also received a letter today Dated 2-1-11, what a great surprise! Our son told about how bad the snow storm was. He also said he had exciting news to tell us on liberty weekend and said we would know in 10 days!! The little stinker!! He knows that I hate not knowing things and I can't call or text him to bug him until he tells me! I can see him smiling about it every day!! He did say that on Thurs, 2-3-11 they were doing fire fighting and he was the leader of the crew and wanted to do a good job. I can't believe next week at this time we will get to see him!!
