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."

Okay, I talked to my son's girlfriend. He wrote to her this past Sunday, and he said he had 3 other letters to write, so I should have one when I get home!
He is doing flags in his division. He is really sore and his throat hurts and most everyone in his division is sick, but they're doing okay. He says the food "sucks" (LOL he is accustomed to good Southern food) but the water pressure is really good! He said when we get to PIR it will be really easy to spot him, but he didn't tell her why! He passed his swim test, but failed his first PFA, but he said that's okay because they will have 2 more (I KNEW he should have worked out more before he left!). He has received our letters, which is a big relief. He also told her that he would be calling me THIS WEEK, which must mean today, right?!!
If there is any more news to report when I get my letter I will let y'all know. For those who haven't gotten a letter yet, hang in there!
