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."

These are the kinds of questionnaires I sent to my son as well. He really enjoyed them and they are great keepsakes for scrapbooking or whatever. It's much easier for them to answer questions than to write long letters, so I think it really helps to send things like this.

Love it! I've already copied it and edited it to send out next week. Thank you so much for putting this together and giving us something a little different to send out. (I think my SR will get a chuckle out of it.)
Your support and encouragement are amazing!
