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."

Ok my daughter-in-law just received two more letters from my son, and he said that he only received one letter from his grandpa and none from her or me - she has written him like 15 - could they be withholding his mail and why? He keeps telling her he wants to hear from her and she is so upset that he hasn't received her letters.

I wonder if our SR has gotten our mail. Understandable to check it first, but didn't realize they withhold it. I just hope he gets it soon! His brother and I are both missing him a lot. His brother is 7 and having a hard time understanding!

They make them earn their letters (at least the first few weeks). I don't know when they get them all, but I want to know what happens if he doesn't get the one in time that I sent asking him to add someone to the graduation list! He has until one week before to finalize and submit the attendee list to the security people. I sent him a letter last week and don't know if he got it.
