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."

I was lucky and got some letters yesterday!! They are doing great and are still in line for Hall Of Fame, the last one being written on April 7th, which must mean they did good on the test that Monday :) He also thought they would get a call on the 8th but I don't think any of us got them, I hope this doesn't indicate they did bad :( He said they are finshing up their last days of actual training and then they do Battlestation practices and then Battlestations. On the 7th he said that they only have 9 actual days of training left which must mean on the 16th they start practicing and then they have battlestations on the 19th. He said they would be done and call on Wednesday the 21st. I can't believe it is finally coming to an end!!
