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."

That's for sure.  He sounds so great in the letter I received today.  He is very ready to get out of there and head to Pensacola.  He said all the guys he's friends with are going to Pensacola too.

I am still on the fence for the meet and greet.
