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."

No calls yet. So far I've gotten 2 letters, both on the same day, Friday.
Hopefully we'll get more soon! :) They'll call soon enough. Before we know it, they'll be calling to say they're sailors!
