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."

yeh, don't think it would be good to put the last names unless you do it elsewhere. aren't you the only one here in 153 with a girl? mine said he made friends with two males....one name was clear the other was not written very neatly and i can't make it out.

hi, if anyone in 153 wants another way to communicate let me know by private message, being very vague here.

I got a letter from my girl today. She wrote it on 4/17 but it wasn't postmarked until 4/23. Maybe I'll get another one tomorrow or Saturday that was mailed after that one. She still sounds upbeat and says they have started letting them write before bedtime on some days. States she doens't know why they changed it but she is happy they did.
Momship- I'm guessing none of the listed friends are females! lol. Don't think they let them mingle. Does your son sound like he is doing well? I hope so. They should have taken their pictures either yesterday or today. Where is your son going for A-school? Can't remember if you posted that info or not.

Happy to know our SR's are doing well...I received 4 letters from my SR and I was sooo excited to get them, so much so that I almost ran the mailman over (my SR sends his letters to my office so I get them as soon as the mailman walks in ). I will be glad to meet all of you on the 17th :).....By the way it is confirmed....I am going with my SR's mother and little brother.
