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 is in Div 261 as well she said she isn't sure if she is going to make it out alive. She said everyone has a cold, flu, diarrhea, phenomena, strep throat, bladder infections, ear infections, even scabies. I'm like what the heck is going on. She wanted to donate blood but I am sure she couldn't if she had a cold. Other then that she said she is doing well and made some really great friends. Getting along well with everyone.

Oh gosh, I don't know. I haven't talked to my son in a long time, and he didn't mention it in his letter last week. It'd be nice to know so I can say extra prayers!

Heard from my son in 262 this evening. They'll be doing battle stations and he plans to call again Wednesday. He's looking forward to relaxing in a couple of days. Sounded so grown up, but very tired! :)
