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."

That's probably my niece! I am glad she found a friend in your daughter! She was very confident going in, but I was concerned about her that first week. But when she called, she sounded wonderful. The second time she called she said it was getting tougher, but she was ok. She originally was going to be an aircrewman and would be coming back to Pensacola, however, she called Thursday of last week to tell us she was being dropped from aircrewman due to being anemic. We haven't heard what she will be doing or where she will be going now.
