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."

We found out Friday that our son is in Ship 09 Div 210. We are so relieved to have an address to send him letters and a date for PIR to plan for. It was a long week and a half not hearing anything.

I think that it gives Amanda a good laugh when she reads some of my letters. She knows that I speak and sometimes go off on other subjects then return. I just want to bring her laughter and no stress. I also let her know that she does not have to write me because I realize there is so much she has to learn.
