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 FB is under a conjoined name with my husband because we share the FB, like we share everything. =)
The boy called his girlfriend yesterday he is is not feeling well recruit crud everyone gets it...Can't believe how quickly time is going I hope all are doing well. I feel bad today was the first day since he has been gone that I forgot to put a stamp on an envelope . So proud dad has missed a day of mail.
Everyone was sick last week too. Whether it be teeth getting pulled or allergies or colds. Sucks, I'd hate to be sick in boot, it's hard enough as is.

My son said they gave them all those shots and it was like getting chicken pox's for pretend

 

My son was very upset that he got S.I.Q. after they decided to pull his only two wisdom teeth,  He said he spent his time studying his training guide.  He said his bunkmate has been sick.
so yesterday was awesome i got 6 letters on top of a phone call Thursday!!!! hope this week repeats it's self next week!!!!
Where's the 'like' button?  :-)
OK so my husband said he had to sign up for Navy Federal cause he didn't have a deposit slip well he asked me if i had gotten my card yet and I haven't however he didn't authorise me on the account and I'm a little concerned that someone else may have the card AND activation password should I wait and see if I receive it in the next few days or is there some way I can get the message to him to fix it or call and authorise me on the account so I can cancel the other one? I am concerned about me not getting the money I'll be honest but I'm more concerned with someone else getting the card and spending our money.
I'd call Navy Federal yourself. I'm personally still using our old bank account, but planning for the 15th deposit.
i did they cant tell me anything
Hmm maybe put it in your next letter. Worse case scenario hope you get a deposit on the 15th. Do you have the account info? Maybe you can transfer the money to your other bank?
I did write it and I'm going to call the recruiter tomorrow an see if I can get in touch with him tomorrow
