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."

Had a bad week last week, as I got a call from my daughter for security information. Very dispirited as she wasn't sleeping through the night and they hadn't received mail yet. Survived the weekend still waiting for her followup information call. She called today definately sounding better as they received letters at the end of last week. Sounding more normal so we are not as worried.
