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."

Joli, No Highfills mom isnt on here with us, but she is on the Facebook group. I will be sure to pass that on to her. I just talked to my Dad and my SR wrote him a letter. He says they are down to 75 recruits in their division and he still thinks bootcamp is fun. It was very upbeat. Happy Day!

Joli, my son was the same way in high school. I was shocked when he had 6 friends come to his going away party! I can't wait until 400 gets here so I can race home and hopefully find a letter waiting for me.
