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 didn't mean to make you cry cause if your anything like me that seems to come too easy these days!!
I got this letter yesterday and it was dated Sept. 7th. His exact words were...I recently found out that our entire division is grad-and-go, so i'll be able to spend Friday after graduation with you before I leave for (his destination). He wrote about being really bummed out about it. I'm hoping he is mistaken!! I wrote him today so hopefully he will respond quickly. Though we have talked to him it was never at a time we could ask him any questions that we wanted to. He said that when he was suppose to be able to call home he had just had his wisdoms removed so he wasn't able to call and they never reimbursed him that call.So hopefully we will get one soon. Have you receive a call? I will keep you posted as to what I hear, if you could please do the same. -
