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."

Our son left May 23rd, and will be graduating on july 23rd as well. He's in Ship 13, Div 247. We didn't recieve his form letter until tuesday the 1st. It felt like an eternity. We still haven't recieved his box yet. Now it will probably feel like forever waiting for the first real letter we get from him. I'm his dad and I was in the Navy as well. Bootcamp was 26 years ago for me. I thought nothing of him going through boot camp, but now that he's there and we haven't heard from him at all these past couple weeks, other than the paragraph he wrote on his form letter, I find it's taking it's toll on me. I did my best trying to prepare him for the things he'll experiance while there, but I'll rest a lot easier after we get a real letter and see how he's really doing. Our son will also be headding out to CT. after bootcamp, off to sub school in Groton.
