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 same ship and div. He wrote about the shooting in his last letter. He said this week they would be doing firefighting. It's getting so close to PIR. I am so excited....Very hopeful for that special phone call at the end of this week.

Hi Riverlady, I sent a friend request to you. I haven't heard from my son...? He is in the same div as your son. Hope to hear from you. We are scheduled to fly out for PIR he is bad about writing letters he promised he would and I have not heard from him this weekend will be two weeks! Yikes. We are coming anyway and going to Sarge's meet and greet on Thursday evening. I sure hope he is well. Thanks in advance for any news you can give me!
