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."

I'd love to hear how your SR is doing when you receive your letter. My SR is pretty miserable right now. But he'll be fine... and he knows it. He said, they are really tired; they are eating well; but getting a good bit of IT because their RDC is tough.

Got another letter today!! Says he has made several friends, one in particular who make him laugh all the time. My son is the tallest in the group and says he is at the back of most every line. lol! He REALLY misses my food! But, he says it seems to be getting better and he is counting down til October 7th. However, he has not received any of MY mail yet. Loved the letter!

I got my first letter today. My SR is still in that "this is H3LL" phase. He'll be fine. He also has made one particular friend. He wrote my letter this past Sunday. At that point, he had received at least 2 of my letters. But by now, I've probably mailed almost 10 letters and/or cards.

lol! My son was the 2nd tallest in the division until the tallest one had to leave for medical reasons. Now he is the tallest at 6'5". lol!! If your son's last name rhymes with the opposite of wrong, then that is the funny guy. He is getting my son through the tough spots, so he is getting a HUGE hug from me!!
