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."

Spoke to my SAILOR for about 20 minutes! He said that BS was easy and that they were going to get to go to sleep an hour earlier since they have been up since yesterday morning... and none of them have watch, so they all get to SLEEP! He said that all next week they will continue to practice their marching and that since they finished first they might get to have more phone calls! He will run in the 1 1/2 mile relay tomorrow, so he wants to get his rest tonight! More later!!! Congrats to all the SAILOR MOMS!

Thanks quilt blue! I got the phone call yesterday. He sounded really tired, and wanted to hear what was happenng in the outside world! I'm glad that I finally got to talk to him because he sent only 1 letter since he was in BC and I was kind of worried. However, I learned that he tried to write back to everyone who wrote him, so he didn't have much time.
I haven't been on this site the last couple of days because my computer got a virus. Terrible timing!
