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."

A young man wrote his mom and told her about a boy that gets no mail AT ALL in bootcamp. On top of that, the guys make fun of him.

Thanks Julie!! I am doing fine at C from T's house. We had seven Navy moms making Freedom Wraps this evening!!!
It was awesome!!! The only thing missing was my sister, Colleen!!
She ended up heading back to check on her house. She had about one foot of water in it!! She has lost everything that she cannot get out in the next day or two due to mold taking over.
Pray her home owners insurance comes through - no flood insurance!!
