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."

He called this morning! He sounded a little worried about accomplishing everything he needs to know/do for graduating boot camp. What can I tell him? I know they have to know the 11 general orders, what else? I'm worried.......

Nate is Starboard watch leader, I will have to ask when I write. He has only called once and it was brief he needed some info. Hoping to get a call soon. I was glad to hear he is on track to graduate he got sick in the beginning and was worried he'd be held back.

I just received a letter from Nate today and he said one of his close friends in boot was Tuttle and the other was Pheonix. Small world! It was nice to hear from him today. Glad you posted.
