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."

I'm counting the days till my first letter arrives!! My boyfriend left two weeks before my birthday so to me the letter will be my most cherished birthday present <3 I wish I knew at least how he's doing or bootcamp is treating him. I love him so much and the fact that he's across the country kills me! Anyone else feeling the same??

Good afternoon. I'm so glad I found this site. Thought I was in this alone. My boyfriend left on the 22 of October, and the last call I got from him was when he landed at the airport. His mom did receive a phone call 7 days later for only about three minutes, juss saying he was fine :( I've been getting a little discouraged. I've written him a letter everyday since he's been gone & I haven't heard back & he's been gone for 3 Weeks today :( it's tearing me apart cause I'm concerned that maybe he isn't getting them , UGH . . how do you guys do it!

Whoever he is sending the things too, should get the box by the end of the week, and a form letter next week (this is going by my experiance, my Fiance has 23 days left in BC) But dont expect letters until the third or the fourth thursday. I got my first letter On the third thursday. They moved his ship though after sending out the form letter (It happened to everyone in his DIvision) so everyone was sending things to the original ship until we got the first letter. He went in oct 2nd, and didnt recieve any mail until the 25th of this month. :(
