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."

Got 2 letters and a phone call today! He sounds great, has a sore throat. He said that there is a lot of yelling, and that it's mostly boring. He did say that they have been sick, but that everyone is doing ok.

I got a letter today! Short, but very sweet. He says he's in the "what did I get myself into phase" but is hopeful it will pass soon.
