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."

Jacob called today, too! And I got a letter from him yesterday, I feel like the luckiest mom in the world. He said theyare all sick since their shots two weeks ago. Jacob sounded great, very talkative. Food is good, sleeps like a baby (just wishes they slept more). Good friends, he said they read parts of their letters out loud, especially the N4M parts and they all laugh. We talked for 30 min and hung up so he could call his best buddy who leaves for air force BC on Monday...he said letters are the BEST,let's keep writing moms!
