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 is in the Honor Guard - at least as of Superbowl Sunday. He too does not right a whole lot in his letters. On the phone he said that he had answered a lot of questions in his letter, but he only got to 2 or 3. I am sure that was a lot to him :) I am happy to get what I can get. Letters are not coming in much but the last one he mentioned that he was worried about having watch and not being able to be with us much.

I'm just thankful I get a letter every Thursday! He doesn't give any specifics or answer many of my questions but at least he writes a page or two. He's never been a big communicator :) And I finally got the form letter!!!!!!!!
He did say he wanted to go out to eat and maybe see some of Chicago before he flies out on Sat. Don't think he understands there really won't be time to see Chicago!
