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 left that same day and I just got her address as well. I cried my eyes out and it has been difficult not being able to talk or txt her. When I got her letter I began to cry I was so happy to get something. Have you written to her yet? I sat down tonight but I think by reading other post on writing it should be plain white paper and I have flag stationary. Looks like I may have to re-write my letter.

We got our sons form letter with division and address! I cried myself, but also happy to have his address! I'm still trying to adjust to not having him around! It's been difficult, even though he is our middle child and we still have our oldest here and our youngest is a freshman in high school. He has never been more than a week away from us and at least we could talk to him at any given time! That's what I've had to get used to. I am very proud that he is in the Navy and wanted to serve our Country!! He new he would go into the military for over 2 yrs and finalized on the Navy his Junior year of high school. He just graduated in May and got to Great Lakes on Aug 27th!
