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."

Yup! I was so ecstatic. He said he might be able to call again Sunday. Was not expecting a call at all. Goes to show that they could call at any time.

Hi Everyone, my son is in Ship 09 Div 108. He called Saturday and I missed his call. I was bummed. I bought my plane tickets for graduation. Really excited. Wondering when we will get a letter. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi SusanK. My son is also SHP 09 DIV 108. I just wanted to encourage you by sharing my story with ya. :-) My SR also called Saturday and I missed the call. I was a wreck! Seriously. I even blogged about it. But the other Navy mom's were so supportive and reminded me that he would call again. This really helped to ease my mind.
As for receiving a personal letter... it arrived today! He's doing well. I'm on top of the world! :-)
Hang in there. Let's both look forward to that next phone call! :-)

Hi all,
Welcome to the group SusanK.
I receive a letter yesterday too. It sounds like the guys are doing well.
SusanK where are you flying in from? I know at least a couple of us are staying at the Courtyard.
We are planning on Sarges Meet and Greet Thursday too.

We are from Cali...I have not made my hotel reservations. I thought about the meet and greet. We fly in at 4:00 pm so we will probably be late. Yikes...I just don't know. Thanks for the welcome. It is super great to have support.

I received my first letter today! He's doing well. Praise God! Words cannot describe how much my heart is smiling. It's amazing that I can "hear" how much he's matured while being away at RTC. Wow!!! Now, I'm even more anxious to get his phone call. Oh, how I miss my boy.
