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 got my letter today and it's my birthday and I hope you all get one too!!! My SR said it has been a lot of fun so far. He said they are pushing through qualifications and just learned to shine their boots! Food is great and he is eating very well! The only hard part is missing us all back home! He is loving the pictures I send and they help him tons. (I print all my letters on the back side of printed photos on computer paper). He said DIV 323 is a push division that rolls through things quicker and they are extremely busy. He wants more mail and said have everyone write please! Hopefully my news will help relieve a bit of your crazies fellow Ship 12 families! I am so relieved!

I jgot my letter today. He sure did have a lot to say. He is adjusting. Said he is bunking with someone he met on bus from MEPS. He is eating healthy. He is worried about inspection. Just reading his letter I can tell he is not my little boy anymore. Really missing him. I read the letter at least 5 times already. Hope everyone got a letter. I really does help ease the crazies a bit.

It does ease it and we will probably have our letters memorized before the next one comes. Have a great weekend everyone! Maybe we will get our phone calls!
