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."

Hello! BTW, my name is Angela. What day did your daughter leave? Aaron left on 7/14 from the recruiter's office before he went to MEPS and the hotel. It is nice to know that there were a few from here if they all left on the same day. At least they had companions for the journey to GL. Aaron was my youngest and I find myself wishing I had one more still at home to require my presence and attention.

I cannot wait to hear news about how he is doing. No calls and no letters yet here, and there is always tomorrow! Thanks for your note and keep hanging in there! A big hug to you!
