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."

received 2nd letter today.. worried!

received 2nd letter today from my bf and he is quite upset and worried why he hasn't heard from me or received any of my letters. i missed his call this past monday. and i'm just hoping he has gotten some letters since he sent out this most recent letter to me since sunday. i started sending letters out last wednesday. should he by this upcoming weekend have at least one letter received? he said he's the only who hasn't received a single letter and it's breaking my heart. i'm worried he'll think i don't love him and i've written quite a few!! and should another call be coming up anytime in the next few weeks?! i just want to be able to talk to him before PIR grad on october 1st! i'm worried sick. he got a promotion, so i don't think they'd be keeping the letters or anything. he's doing well :) help!
