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."

Welcome! Me too! I have to say though, I'm feeling much better after reading her little note on the bottom of the form letter! She sounded upbeat.

That's wonderful to hear, boot camp sounds very tough from what I've been reading. My son's dad emailed me the letter he received today -- no note at the bottom, just the contact info. It is good to finally have an address to send the letters I've been writing!

I know! I have a big envelope with letters from this week. I originally thought her PIR was 08.21.11. This is great! A week earlier then what I thought.
