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."

Been thinking about you and wondering how your daughter is getting along.  You may have posted something recently, but there are so many places to post that I can't hardly keep up!  I hope she's better and is back at camp.

Glad to hear your daughter is improving...YEAH!!  What a relief!  We'll keep praying that she continues to improve and can get back in the grove of things very soon!

I'm sure they're taking good care of her, and we'll try and take care of you here.  Looks like you're on the minds of alot of folks out there. Praying for a quick recovery for your daughter!
