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."

God is good, when I needed it most, I got a phone call from my son. He is doing well, he said boot camp is not as bad as he thought it would be. He said he passed his swimming test on the first try. He misses home cooking.

Did anyone get mail from ship2 div 910? I've been getting mail on Thursdays and nothing came today.

Thank you for the info Nicole! :)

AlishaNicole - Yes, Cali Generally takes a day or two longer. My letter days were Tuesdays/Wednesdays & I'm from IL, 3 hours FROM GL. I seemed to sometimes get letters on 2 days.
EVERYONE*** Letters DON'T nessesarily come by division. They send them out at once, sometimes it just takes a bit to get to you!
Just hang in there, they're a comin!

Hi ladies, I live in Northern California and wondering if it typically takes a little longer for the mail to reach us here from Great Lakes.

Yay ACTmom!! I am SO happy for you! Did your son mention calling by chance? I really hope they can pull together as a team soon! Did he say anything else? I wonder if they're marching outdoors! I did not get a letter today. Since a couple of you ladies in div 54 received your letters today, i'm wondering if mine will take an extra day since I live in California? Does anyone know if it takes longer???
