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."

Hi. Got letter today, yay! Ship11/div.359. Had swimming test last week. Got uniform, boots(which hurt) and dog tags, she seems to be doing ok! Rough getting used to sleeping and showering with 98 females. The needles were not fun at all! Working hard, not much down time. All of you who haven't received letters yet, hang in there!
