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."

My son is in ship 04 div 223. We've received 2 letters from him & I anxiously await another. In his last letter, he writes, "HELP!!! Get me outta here... LOL!" well, @ least he hasn't lost his sense of humor...he also said, he was doing well & very committed to his choice to become a Sailor. I am so proud of him...oh yeah, he did write how much he misses me (MoM)...I think he really misses my cooking, hahaha...
