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."

My son's girlfriend received two letters from him today, I am sure hoping that there is one in my mailbox when I get home. Her reading her letter to me, made me cry and miss him more. But he seems to be doing great and has made alot of friends. Which I had no doubt about him making friends, he is very personable and funny. Fingers crossed!!!

To ZacMansMom2012 - I am glad your son's girlfriend got letters, I was really hoping to get one today, but did not. Let us know if you got onel I spoke to my son's recruiter today to see how to get my son his Absentee ballot but no one seems to know. He said if the envelope is big (which it would be) would be opened and he doesn't know what would happen at that point. He said just wait for the call from my son.
