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."

Things seem a little quite on here. I received another letter on Wednesday, March 16th. I hope everyone else is receiving letters and or phone calls. My son did say that they would be in Dress Blues for Graduation. I am getting very excited to see him again. Has anyone else heard from their loved one?
