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."

Hello everyone,
I have to admit I was very sad because we (my husband and I) did not receive a letter from our son on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. MY son's girlfriend received one on Thursday and shared it with me, but it just wasn't the same. Well guess what my husband and I got in the mail today??? Yes!!! A letter from our son!!! I was not expecting it at all so I was ecstatic. I haven't stopped smiling yet. If only they knew what THEIR letters do to us. :) -

That's good to hear. I was going to say don't feel too bad because my letter was only half a page long. My son said he had 10 min to write it and turn it in for mailing. But I agree, any letter is a letter that is looked forward to. I can't wait till they have their phones back. :)

crittilbeau if your SR is staying in GL for A school I've been told they can have the above items once they move across the street to A school. If your SR is flying out you will need to go to the airport and once there you can give the above items to your sailor. I do believe everything has to fit in their black carry-on bag.
