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."

My SR is 07/339, brother DIV of 340, got a letter today, they know they have mail, he mentioned it is bein earned, and he gets to write on Sunday's only, senior recruits write every other day, but they have duties too like standing watch, he did say he needed to pass this next test, and he sounded very proud, said he is not a lot bigger, but mom I'm really FAST! Lol seems like it is up to their rtc's when they get privileges, makes sense, don't worry he is super busy! SR said make to send wallet size pictures, he wants lots! Hope that helps, he said send on Wednesday's too?

I'm sorry to say, that is the skill my SR hasn't achieved. It is the only thing he has done wrong to earn his own "beating". He said, he was rushed & didn't make his rack... & they inspected!! I bet he did get "beat". But, otherwise, he sounded really good. What a great feeling to hear from them, huh!?
