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 Dubbie, no I have not heard from my daughter since the 1st phone call about 2 weeks ago, I thought for sure that they would be able to call on Easter but nothing. I know no news is good news but I sure would love to hear my daughter's voice.

Hello all, I got a letter from Cody yesterday and his dad got one today. We were so excited to hear from him since we missed his call. We were really bummed with no Easter call. He is getting excited about graduation. He said they got a flag and had a chance for another. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a good thing. He continues to write each of us seperate letters when he can. I write at leasty once a week, but he siad it takes a long time to get the mail, and made it sound like awhile since he ahd heard from anyone. That makes me a little sad to think that he thinks we don't write him. He sounded upbeat. His letters make me happy. I miss him so much!! I hope you all hear from you loved ones very soon!!
Good nite Div. 166 family.
