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 cub scouts did letters at scouts tonight for SR"s at boot camp. I have 10 more to mail but need some names and addresses from 10 more people so I can mail these out. If any one is interested send them to me. My email is majorityrulz@msn.com

Majorityrulz, You can send them all to your SR to hand out to those not getting any mail!. Those that receive one may also write back to the scout who sent it. :) If you do choose to do that, just let your SR know they are coming. You can send them in a manila envelope to your SR, the RDCs will not give him a hard time about it, they know that mail helps to "boost" those recruits up.

We got a call from our son this afternoon. He sounded very good. He said he had watch when everyone else was making calls last weekend. He thought that they would be able to call again this weekend. He also said time is flying by. :)
Oh, He did say he knew a boy nicknamed Boston. "That is one funny guy".

Good Morning momofboys! I hope you get a call soon, or maybe a letter today. "Boston" is my son's nickname at BC. :) Everything sounds good and my son also said time was flying by when he called, nice to hear that the days are going by fast for them.
