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."

Dear Letter Writers,
In my son's letters home today he requested that we write one of his fellow SRs because he hasn't received any letters yet.
We did.
However, I posted this on the FB thread for those willing to write him a letter to contact me through messaging- and I would be more than glad to share his mailing information. So far there's like 12 or so who've volunteered- some have already sent letters.
It makes me very sad to hear that there is someone who might be without letters.
message me if you want that information, please.
Im hoping we can make his day(s)!
Alisha

That's nice that you are doing this Alisha. I met a young lady on here who recently went to BC and I wrote her letters. She had PIR in December and is now about an hour & a half from where I live. My hubby and I are going to get to meet her in person on Saturday and spend the day with her!

My son never asks for anything. Finding out things he wants, or wants to do is like pulling teeth. He requested this. Im hoping that it makes him feel good to ask for something for someone else. It makes me feel good doing this for both of them.

I would really like to send a letter. My son is in BC now and I would be sad if he did not get any letters while there. Please message me address and I would love to send a letter. It is very kind of you to do this :)

I spoke to my son yesterday (he's good- really good!) and he said that the recruit that we were trying to rally letters for, has been moved to another division and he will have a different graduation date.
I asked him if he through the letters would make it to him, he said he was sure they would.
I wish him well! I hope he soars!
God Bless you all!
