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."

He said it was tough but is having a bit of an easier time now. he says he even "makes my bed like a champ" :) I'm so proud!!

I also have a boy in ship 4 div 806.  I received my first letter today and although he sounds tired, he sounds pretty good.  Does anyone know of a RV park that is close?  We are driving from the Seattle area...

We are flying in from NY also (Long Island) .  Was wondering if anyone knows if our boys are doing their pre-buds at GL?  If they are, then I would hope that we'd have our boys for the weekend.  Received a 2 page letter yesterday and he sounded very upbeat.  Said that week 1 of BC was the worst and is very glad it's over.

My understanding was that they are doing pre-buds in GL.
