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."

Well I'll definitely be praying for him.  I know you were excited to get to talk to him...even about medical records.  I still haven't received a letter since his form letter, but I'm really hoping for one by the end of the week. I promised him I would write him everyday so I make daily trips to the post office to check.

He is going FMF...whatever that means.  He will be a medic for the Marines.

I believe your son is at boot camp with my boyfriend.  He is in the same ship and div. Did he leave on Jan. 10?

Did I read that your son is going into the Nuke program? My son will finish bootcamp on March 2 and then will be heading to Charlestton SC.  I am just fairly making my way around this website. Hopefully, I'll hear from you.
