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."

Another letter today, dated 11/27. Hopes to start getting mail from home soon. Are other SR's getting their mail?
So frustrated at the people who haven't learned to shut their mouths, Says there are good recruits but the talkers make the whole unit look bad,
Looking forward to be able to call home soon. Yay, can't wait to talk with him

Hey my son just said they have some guys in the division that don't do s*#% right. He is tired and is doing his best. I was happy because the letter seems like he is doing a wee bit better. He said his job is to clean the head. I hope he isn't the one talking too much....oops.
Barby, Glad your son passed his swim test...a pass is a pass. I hope my son passed too.
