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."

That's so sad that only 5 out of 88 received mail. I already had my letter ready to go when I finally received an address to send to. Mailed it right away but that was still Friday. Don't think there was any chance that my son was one who received mail. SURELY mail call will be much different this next Sunday.
I've asked my son to notice if there are recruits who never receive mail. I know that there are more of these than we like to think about. I've told him that if there was any way to get a name to me we have people in our church and family who would make sure they get letters and cards of encouragement. As a mom, it breaks my heart to think that there are those recruits who have no one.
To all those moms who are hearing little tidbits of information, thanks and please keep sharing. It's great to have even that much of an idea about what is going on.

For the ones already receiving mail are your SR's in 267? My son is in 268 and we didn't receive the form letter until Friday. I mailed a letter Saturday and again yesterday. I hope he gets them soon!! I can't wait to get a letter from him. I will be stalking the mailman on Thursday!!

As far as I can tell, it looks like only the moms from 267 recruits have heard anything. Mine is in 268. I don't think any of the 268 moms have heard anything. Just remember that no news can also be good news; but we will probably start corresponding with our boys any day now.
