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."

That's great Kim! If Doug knows Ed, and Zac knows Ed, then Ed can make sure Doug and Zac know each other! Plus Ed knows Mike!
I guess it's up to Ed, Adriana to make sure the guys have this covered, just in case.
Does anyone know what they boys are doing this week?

Adriana - Our boys must be doing laundry together, because he said that he does laundry. My son, however, in no way is guilty of doing any cleaning! His dad has his car and decided to clean it. He and his buddy have been working on the car for 2 days - yikes!!!

Wow, I am so glad to hear my son is not the only one that lived out of a laundry basket!!!

Beth, That makes all the sense in the world. Very good idea for them to buddy up!

My SR mentioned how much of a hassel it is to have to fold their uniforms and stoe them under their beds. He's definitely more of a 'toss your clothes in a pile on the floor' type of guy. I'm hoping if he gets one thing out of the military, it's that he learns how to be a little less messy (; hahah

Demi,
Mine lived out of his laundry basket for the last few years! He has not mentioned folding or ironing in his letters?? :)

oooooo dusting ;) our SRs are moving up in the world! i'm excited to see mine finally FOLD SOME CLOTHES. haha

My son writes that he is the Forward Hold Recruit Petty Officer.
The fancy name for Supply Room Janitor :)
So I hope no one is turning the labels, or putting something on the wrong shelf!
He has also learned how to dust :)
