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."

Danny's girl 4 letters, mom and Dad 1 letter this week. Hopefully we will hear some more from him soon. She is nice enough to let us know how he is doing. He told her that he got his E2 rank. I wish he would have told us too.

Glad everyone is getting letters. I had 2 from my son today, one was for his dad. His GF has the highest rank though, she got 2 yesterday and 1 again today...lol. I predicted this is the way it would be. He sounds positive except for missing everyone. Last time he wrote was before swim quols so Im assuming that went well. He states that most things are coming pretty easy so far (this doesn't surprise me as did a lot of preparation prior to boot camp). 36 days to PIR! Ooh Rah! Can't wait to hug him.

Proud Navy Corpsman Mom - thanks, I told Danny's friend, that she may have to wait until everyone is seated and then get to sit, according to the boot camp site, there is only 12 groups graduating, so there should be plenty of room.
