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."

Hi Colleenrn,
I have a son on Ship 13 Div 309. I was also excited to see the letter in the mail. Could not wait for my husband to get home to open it together. Although there was nothing personal from my son, I did get enough information to satisfy me for now.
lol
