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."

Kimmer your daughter is so beautiful! She looks like she is very sweet too.  this has a good week.  Mark sent 3 letters home and said that he is nominated for an academic award for highest GPA  and his division won the Captain's Cup yesterday.  PIR is next Friday too. You will be amazed at the change that your daughter makes from the start of BC to when she is finishing.  I find Mark to be so confident smart strong and quite motivated in a way that I have ever seen before.  He is fresh out of high school and was a lazy teen at home.  He will be going to A school in Va for Intelligence Specialist.  What will your daughter be doing.  Hope you get the form letter soon so you can send your letters. Let's stay in touch  Julie

So far you are the only other mother of a daughter in the 07/345 that I have come across. Did your daughter get her hair cut before she left? Nikki did, it was so short. She hated it.
