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."

We mailed quite a few before we got these too lol plus had extended family writing, some friends from school wrote him and also people from our church.....so he definitely had plenty to read! Finally got up the nerve to do his his laundry that came in the box, figured I might as well.......I remember when it came, I ripped into it and pulled out his shirt hoping it smelled like him but all i got was a nose full of cardboard smell so that was gross! lol wont do that next year when my 2nd oldest son goes! : )

Receiving letters are so important to them. I sent a letter to my sailor everyday. They share letters also. It's sad that some sailors don't receive communications so others will let them read their letters. My son is now in Italy. He finished boot camp on March 18th, straight to A school around the corner in Great Lakes. He is assigned to the USS RAMAGE DDG 61 out of Norfolk. It gets better ladies. My sailor was home for 17 days before he left for
deployment. Luck to you all.
