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."

My son is Ship 09 Div 405 and he called us today, about 8 hours ago! I have not had access to computer all day or I would have posted this sooner. He left on 8/27 and other than the box and form letter this is the first we had heard from him. It was so great to hear his voice! He sounded great and said he is doing really good!! He was really positive about everything! I was proud of myself that I did not cry until after I hung up! Hearing his voice made me realize how much I do miss him but I did not tell him that! He said receiving mail is great for all of them so we all need to keep the letters going!! I hope everyone else hears from their SR's soon if they haven't yet!!

Hello everyone. My son is Ship 9 Div 406 and I received his call yesterday @ 1pm. I was thrilled to say the least. Things are going well. I dont think they are getting much sleep as they have tons of homework everynight and then they have to prepare for the next morning. He also said the food is awful, being a southern boy, he used to things with flavor. He is making it through with the help of Tabasco sauce. Ha! He hopes to call again in a week or two. I will be waiting. He said he is beginning to feel the pride that comes along with this committment. That made me happy. Moms, CARRY YOUR PHONE EVERYWHERE with you. I take my phone into meetings at work and put it on silent. Missing a call would be unbearable for me. Stay strong moms. For those who have not received the call yet. Hang in there!
