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 Daughter has almost been gone a week
6-17-14. I got " the box" today.
There was even a little post card inside
But I have a major case of the blues
Today. I'm so use to her being here
And since she's my only girl the house
Is extra lonely for me ( love my boys but it
Isn't the same) I'm really excited for her to be
Doing what she's always dreamed about
But I miss her so much !!!!

I got a call Saturday too. So good
To hear her voice and even got
A laugh out of her. -

Awww❤. ....that's good! Guess what I did....... I bought a box of pastel colored envelopes to send her letters in and they fit the 4x6 pics too. A few days later I read on here that you should only use WHITE ones.....sending colored ones can get them in trouble! I am hoping & praying she doesn't get punishment for my mistake!!

Make sure you don't send loose pictures that can be felt through the envelope. Anything that makes your letter stand out can cause unwanted attention from the RDCs to your daughter. I would save a picture to my computer and print it out on regular white paper and then write or type my letter around the pics.
