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."

Yeah, we got another letter and they are saying he is staying in GL. Tim is going to make some calls so we can know for sure what his next move is going to be. My brother is going FMF *play with the Marines* I would never have expected that out of him. Couldn't be more proud, seriously. = )

This is just too funny~ Got "the packet of info" with address, password and graduation info in the mail today. How far are we into this already? haha I guess my brother had a dental apt the day they all went to fill out the paperwork and mail it out so that is what the hang up was. He was sweet and apologized for the delay and thought that it was funny that I sic-ed my husband on them. Bawhahaha He said he is feeling the pressure from being a sponsored div but he is passing all test etc with flying colors so that is awesome! Yay for Thursday letter day! = ) He sent a nice letter to my kids thanking my little girl for the pretty barbie picture she colored for him. He is such a good Uncle, he would play Barbie with her. We are down to the last few weeks. Hope everyone hangs in there!
