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."

So how is everyone doing? My SR told me the other day they all started singing Lean on Me, In the Jungle and 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. The RDCs liked it because they did it together as a team and laughed at them. They are currently in "Hell Week" so the letters next Thursday should be short but interesting.... We're almost there!!

ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS!!! Couldnt be more excited... My Son has sent four letters and they are all very upbeat and positive about where he is and what he is doing. He said all the SR's were emotional after phone calls home. I am just way stoked about what they are doing and how they get to put on graduation...
