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."

macamc - Congrats on receiving your 1st letter! That's great. I'm glad to hear your son is doing ok. Maybe I'll get a letter this weekend. I really am hoping so. I miss him so much. This is much more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm hanging in.....but would love to hear from him. I think you may be the 1st one in our group to get a letter!!

I got my 1st letter...WHOAAAAHHH! Although I haven't read it yet, it's at home and I'm at work. lol. He also wrote his grandparents and brother. Now I can't wait to get home...few more hours. From the sounds of his letter to his grandmother, he's doing well and likes it......even the food is good (huh??). I feel so much better just knowing that we heard from him!
