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."

Gabby, so sorry to hear this! I hope that since she wrote that letter, things have improved for her. It's hard on us, because how they are feeling on Sunday when they write may already be a distant memory by the time the letter arrives at our mailboxes. She will probably be writing another letter tomorrow, and hopefully things have already improved!

gabby i have not heard from my son and live in fear of something like that. I have a girlfriend that went into the Army who talked at length to my son and told him LET THEM BREAK YOU FAST CRY IT OUT GET IT OUT then its a breeze from there, she was strong but just let them break her quick. I pray your daughter has overcome that now and will pray that God give her strength to become a warrior for all to look up to..

Gabby 19 Just hang in there hopefully things have gotten better for your daughter She sounds like a sweet girl who misses home but she still there and that says a lot . She's tough and once she shows them she gonna make it they may stop calling her cry baby. I hope she makes some friends if not I hope she realizes they weren't worthy of her friendship. Tell her were rooting for her and to hang in there shes almost on the backslide. Hope you take it easy too !
