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."

Hi Mychael's mom and Tori's mom. My son left for bootcamp Jan. 27th. I got my homesick call yesterday and my form letter was in the mail yesterday evening. He sounded real good, but is really homesick. I kept encouraging him to hang in there, that it will get better. Hope you get your call soon.
