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."

A special thank you to the Warriors who are bringing home the bodies of four Christian Americans today. Never should we take lightly the oath that these young people take the day that they leave for bootcamp. God bless them all and their families too.

I keep thinking ok tomorrow is the day I will get a letter! Then tomorrow comes and nothing. Then I just keep repeating it lol. My same friend who got a phone call got multiple letters today. My husband left three days after her boyfriend so maybe his letters are three days behind. Either way I am so ready!

Hi I think I'll be staying at the Navy Lodge-it sounds so convenient to the base and it's cheap! Foot of snow or more expected here today-let's hope a letter arrives and by April it'll be balmy! :-) I think I've sent about 9 letters and asked if that was too much, but of course I don't know his response yet! One mom said it's good to send a postage page large manila envelope so they can mail home all their letters/photos they want to keep since there isn't much room for 'stuff'. Maybe I'll try that next week. Although I have no idea how much postage it'll take! I hope they are all getting lots of letters. I asked my son to let me know if there is a SR not getting any mail. I'd throw in an extra letter for him next time.
