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."

This weekend we recieved our first letter from our son. I was so excited to get it that I stood in the driveway crying so bad that I couldn't even see to read it. My husband ended up reading it to me. This does not sound like the kid we had 4 weeks ago. I think someone else must have written this letter. LOL He sounds like he is doing great and tells us that he loves it! I have been so worried about him and this is an answered prayer.

I am new to commenting on this site. My son is ship 13 div 067 and I have been anticipating his call. I carry my phone everywhere I go. Well, last night I had an ultrasound and had to be away from my phone for 15 minutes and guess what!!! He called and I missed it. I cried all the way home. I just couldn't believe it. I know how important it must be for him to get to talk to someone at home. I felt terrible, when I got home and I wrote him a letter immediately. Hoping he gets to call on Christmas but not holding my breath. I just couldn't believe how upset I got, his voice on my voicemail was ok except at the end when he said your not picking up so I guess I will have to just write you. My heart felt so sad. He is a strong young man and will be fine I just knew how important this call is to the SR's.
