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."

Boot Camp Questionnaires
Sometimes it is hard for a SR to write. Either it's just not their thing or they just don't get much time.
We like to send these out to try and gather "Intel" on what our SR is experiencing! It was fun to make up and send!
I folded mine up and creased it real good with a ruler! Don't forget an SASE. Might want to put some extra postage on it ...just in case!
Have Fun!
Here is a link to my Blog that has the questionnaire I sent my Sailor.

Thank you! This is a hoot. Okay...what is an SASE? And an FLTW? Sorry, still trying to get all the acronyms. I don't know what a TG is either. Now where is that Blue Jackets Manual my SR left for me?

I thought it might be training group but I didn't know about the divisions. I really need to find that Blue Jackets Manual! BTW, I love your Snoopy profile pic. I am a HUGE Peanuts fan!
