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."

Ok ladies, I got my letter today!!! Anyone else get one? (I sure hope so) My SR is doing ok. He said they got pt'd for the third time in one day. But seems to be doing well. When I write my son next time I would like to find out if he knows your SR's. Send me a message with his name so I can ask. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!! Let me know.

So happy for your desinse5459. We haven't gotten a letter yet. Maybe it takes another day to go two states over - who knows. Hopefully tomorrow. My son is a little older than most, 27, but it still doesn't make this any easier

Finally letters today - makes me feel so much better. Two for me, one for Dad and one for his brother. Sounds tired but positive. Actually thanked me for bugging him with all of the info I got from N4M. Said he was so much more prepared for what to expect than most others.
Hope everyone gets one today.

Amazing feeling isn't it! I laughed, cried, then laughed, then cried - my husband walked in and thought I had finally completely lost it. Then he read it - I didn't look so crazy then!

Finally, letters all the way around! : ) I am so happy for all of us. It is great to hear that from what we read that they are doing good! Do you feel refreshed now? And I don't think it matters what age they are. That doesn't change how much we miss them! I still get teary eyed even when someone else is on the receiving end of the call or letter.
