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."

Hey girls I got my letter today!!!! Keep a look out for yours. I'm close to Chi so it looks like it only took a day for it to get here. They sent it out yesterday.
Ah that is so exciting!! I am so hoping for a letter tomorrow!! And I hope that they all got to send them out! Did he say anything about the rest of his division?
Yes very exciting!!! I will cross my fingers for you to get yours tomor!! I'm sure they got to send them out so hunt your mail person down lol. He said that the div is cool, but there are some guys who are not taking it as serious as they should and they are making them do extra PT for the ones who are acting up. I hope they get their act together.....those misbehaving boys :-). How are you doing?

Hey Ladies! I am anxiously awaiting my letter...I too figured they were able to write on Sunday...I live in CA so I'm not expecting anything until Thursday or Friday:(  Also we are nearing phone call time....please post ASAP when you get a phone call....

He also said 2 males and 1 female have quit so he is feeling proud that he is doing well.  He said he passed all tests and was promoted...went in as E1 now E2....Now just waiting for phone call!!
Yeah you got your letter!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! Thursday is the "magic" day lol. Sounds like he is making friends which is a great thing! Ya know that's what I have been hearing that there are some kids that don't know how to control themselves. I hope they get a handle on that. Yes we will e-mail that info as soon as you get it. Oh my that's the first I herd of 3 quiting. I wonder what happened. He past his test NICE!!! E2...good place to be!!! Phone call day yes I hope that will come soon.
