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."

I finally got my first letter from my son today :) he said he's making a lot of good friends and is in the top of his division physically. He said his bunk mate has the same first and middle name as him which is pretty unusual and cool. Their last name even starts with the same letter. He said the letters help him stay positive and loves them. Happy Dance!
