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."

Sailor Sam - my daughter was also in SHIP 13 and is now in SHIP 12 DIV 212 too ! She has a new address also and I just heard from her on Thursday her first letter. She didn't say if she had received any of our letters or not - I have been writing everyday - so hopefully she will get them soon.
I hope your son is doing well - our daughter is doing good - she said as long as you pay attention to detail (cleaning especially) haha - things go well.
Thanks for posting, and again will be praying for your family and your SR!!!

Thanks for the updates! Prayers are sent back to all us moms & dads waiting for those precious letters. Have heard a bunch about "Sarge" not sure if you have. Thinking about attending his meet & greet on that Thursday before PIR. Booked and ready to see my son graduate. How about you? Thanks for reply!
