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."

He probably is part of the drill team. My son said when the drill team is not practicing, they are cleaning up after the graduations. My son said one of the guys found a newspaper and read about the attack on the embassy in Libya.

Hello. I finely got a letter from my son yesterday but I have not gotten a call yet. He says he is having fun but misses home. He has made a good group of friends and will be playing the trumpet. He also tells me that he is a Dental Yoeman. I hope that is good. He seems really excited and proud. I am so proud of him as I know you all are of your own.

Total agreement with ChrisMum, I got a 10 page letter from my daughter yesterday, not that I could make good sense of it all but that's ok. My dad already made reservations at the navy lodge for me for graduation! Really so very excited. :)
