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."

Happy for you that you got a letter. It sure makes it easier having some form of communication. All sorts of things can go thru a mom's mind wondering about the unknown, but there is a lot information on Navy 4 Moms that will give you so much comfort. It sure has been a blessing for me to be able to read what other moms have experienced and comments from their sons posted gives even more comfort. You will get a few calls along the way but you never know what time of day so be ready. The area code for Chicago is 847. The first time he called me I didn't recognize the area code and by the time I got to it..we were disconnected. I am so glad you heard from your son. It is a grrreat feeling that only a mother can comprehend.

So glad that you heard from your son! IT=Intensive Training and it is used as punishment. If one messes up in the division, they all have to do it usually. In my son's case when he was at boot camp, THEY all had to do it and the one who was at fault had to just watch...he said he felt bad for the guy who ended up in tears as he watched his division mates do IT for 2 hours for something he did. Also, don't be surprised if he gets discouraged some in the future...he is still in the very hard part of bc....it gets better by week 4 or so. But glad your call was so good!
