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."

ACTmom: I got my call Saturday at 10:26am. Also got three letters from him, Monday. When we spoke on the phone he said he only got two of my eight letters. Bootcamp mailman must be having issues!! LOL! Not sure whats going on there. He said it wasn't as bad as he thought. Hang in there! It can't be much longer.

Air mail again here today! Still being optimistic for the week. As far as phone calls go, to the one's who have gotten them already, do they get them at a certain time of day, or a certain day of the week? Do you remember the time and date that you got yours? I've been keeping my home phone and cell phone glued to my hip! I'm so afraid of missing it, that I even take them to the bathroom with me! Am I loosing it? MAYBE!

Sure Lala, when I asked if I could use it, the lady I got it from said that it was meant to be past on.
Denise, I am praying that tomorrow will be your day. I live in SC also and my letters have been arriving on Thursdays.
