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 told me they had inspection this past Wednesday and Thursday. He was excited to shoot guns! And for some weird reason, he was excited for the gas chamber that is sometime next week. I am bringing him some clothes that he's taking to A school, and some new stuff. Lounge pants for sure.

I received a letter from my Treboy. He says he doing fine. They fold clothes and make beds all day. He says the food is great! Pancakes or french toast along with bacon, eggs, ham, hashbrown, etc. For him to say that, its a big deal! He's on the Navy Bootcamp Basketball team. Studying alot! He says he ate shark...yah, shark! Only one time thou. He says his rackmate comes from a military family and is from Indiana. That he is pretty kool. He gave me his name, but I cannot display it in this discussion. Trying to pass the swim test. Get-up at 4:45a, be ready by 5:30a and in bed by 10p. Says he kinda misses his little pestering cousin. LOL! May or may not be able to send Sat or Sun with me, but will be able to on Friday after graduation.
This was a good letter.
