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."

Well people I got "the box" today. When I answered the door and the FedEx man showed it to me and I saw her handwriting on the box I Lost It! I think it scared the poor guy. Didn't think it would hit me so hard. Was really surprised because it came so quick. Anybody else get theirs?

Yes, my son's box came today also. Well actually, FedEx left a tag. ( I was at work.) I had gone into their website and registered for FedEx delivery manager, because I knew I'd problebly be at work when it came, so I had instructed to please leave my deliveries at my front door. I guess they didn't get the message. Anyway, we went to pick it up and when I also saw his handwriting on the box, I got really choked up. I was surprised too that it came so fast. Maybe the form letter will be quick too!

Have you heard anything about Graduation? Was told it would be either 9/27 or 10/4? Guess we have to wait until we get those letters.
