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."

First of- I don't know what I was thinking- my son is div- 16.
BUT- I got some letters today!! Several letters! He wrote one and included letters for each of his 4 siblings. Also got separate one written SEPT 30 and then one that was more current.
He did mention that one day they were going to get to make phone calls but his division screwed up so they lost the privilege. Anyway- just wanted to let yall know- when you go home today- maybe you will find a letter!
It felt like Christmas when I opened the box and saw his handwriting.
I was worried that he would be having a hard time- but his letter was very positive. Sure, he is getting yelled out constantly ( his words) but is sounds like he is taking it in stride. Whew!!!! I can breathe again!
