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."

Fun (and imformative) Questionnares for your Recruit
There are many questionaires that you can send to your recruit and you can find them on various sites. Some of them are read only and many have some of the same questions. Jessica has put together a whole list of various questionaires. One night, when like many of you, I was worried, lonely, and couldn't sleep I went through many of them and tried to organize them into categories that I thought would be fun. Here they are...I hope you enjoy them. Print them off..send them and then report back and let us know if your recruit enjoyed them and how they responded. They only take 5 to 10 minutes to complete and should get you a wealth of information. You dont have to send them all at once..just send one at a time, maybe on a day when you dont have much to write about. This ensures them to get some kind of mail. They enjoy filling them out, and you get to see some funny answers, PLUS some questions you may have, will be answered as well. Just click on the link, open, and print them out...:)
