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."

Recruits generally don't call on Sunday from 8am to 1pm because of church service there on base.

Just got a call...HAPPY MOMMA!!!!! Lots of people on the phones but 159 and 160 was calling tonight. My son is doing good. His biggest problem is missing home. Apparently everyone is coughing a lot. This is the longest he has been from home without much communication. Their letters did not get sent last week, so we should be getting them this week. Encourage your guys, ladies. They need it. If you are keeping track of their week schedule, currently they are in week 2 of training. Week 3 will start on Friday, and continue to change every Friday. Their week 8 will only be like one day. It was good hearing his voice. Have a Great Weekend.
