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."

Ok, lemonelephant told me to look for a form and I noticed that another person said the SR has to fill it out and send it to us, but we are so far away I am thinking my daughter is not sending to us because she knows we will be up within 2 weeks for the PIR. So am I to understand that Adopt a sailor is for her own family is to do this otherwise she will be available to another family close by to have the opportunity to be adopted? And does the family come get them and take them off base? Can they designate a specific family to do so? If so I have family close by that I can come get her for that. Hope she does send me the letter or form but if she doesn't is there anything we can do?

Sorry for the delay...I'll have to look at my settings as I don't think I am getting notified about BLOG comments.
Glad you found the link...it does have most of the info you need. The rest of the details come in the Adopt a Sailor form that the Recruit sends home.
