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."

hahaha....I read it over and over and over again. and then over again! I love my letter. :-)
Well, they SAY, the way they pick one's for these jobs is how prepared they were for BC, how well they behave, listen and seem to know what they are supposed to do. So he's now RECRUIT PETTY OFFICER MAILMAN. It makes me smile. He was in Delayed Enlistment for 7 months, so he had lots of time for studying everything. And he DID study. I'm so giddy over this letter, I can't get the smile off my face!! I know that's how you and all the other mom's with letters are feeling right now. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

SailorMom59 - That is so cool that he got picked for that. I am so happy for you. My letter was very short. Hard to say how he's doing. So will wait for the next one or phone call. That would be exciting. I printed some pics last night to send to him today. We are 1/2 way into this.. We will be at Sarge's sooner than we know, and all excited for the next day......
