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."

ANSWER_Adopt a Noble Sailor Write Every Recruit
This is a group set up by moms who want to help Sailors who do not recieve mail for whatever reasons. We all know how important it is for our SR's to recieve mail from home while they are so far away from home and their loved ones. If all it takes is one letter to brighten a boys day when his name is called at mail time. I know my son felt bad for those guys and I wished I had a way to help. well now I can and so can you by either joining our group and/or providing names (we have the addresses) privately of course and no one will know who this information came from. Please private message me if you can get names from your SR through letters or phone calls so that we may start writing. Thank you in advance for your help.

Wonderful Idea! I adopted a boy swearing into the Army at MEPS cause I couldn't stand that he didn't have someone there to witness it, so you can count on me. As soon as I can get letters back from my SR, I'll be helping with names.

This is such a great idea! I can't imagine going through Boot Camp without getting letters! I haven't received my first letter from my SR yet, but when I mail his next one out, I will ask him if there is anyone to write to. Thanks for the idea!!

For those of you who supplied names and wrote letters, you have made a few recruits very happy. Hoping to get some new names in the groups after 8/12 PIR. Thank You, Tina
