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."

I got a letter from my daughter yesterday. It was great to hear from her. I was busy having a pity party on Wed. but then when the pics were posted and I saw my daughter, the day was much better. Then the letter came yesterday - so at least the next two weeks should be a little better ... for everyone around here!! I'm ready to meet everyone and especially to see my kiddo (she'd die if she heard me say that!)
TWO WEEKS! Can you believe it? We are practically there! Our division is awesome! They really work well together. Heck, look at all the flags they've won! They are going to do great on Battle Stations!

I think our mail has been taking at least a week to get to them. I'm wondering if/when there should be a cut-off date to stop writing to our SR's...

My son hasn't said anything about getting mail except that his mom sent him a card that was too big and he had to open in RDC's office. He was embarrassed.
