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."

ship 10 div 257 pir 8-12-11
just received my letter it was great to hear from my son even if it's just a few words, can't wait for graduation so I can see and hug on him, it's been hard for me it's the first time he has been away from home for this long and then wrote graduation date 12-8-11 instead of 8-12-11, it took me a little while to figure that out. I had to calm down and stop crying and take some deep breathes. This will be wonderful site to support all of our new sailors and we can see each other at graduation

I told my son he had the wrong number and I hung up, then he called back 2 more times and I was so nervous I would miss the all I hung up on him, the 4th time was the charm, he will get another call and you will be able to talk to him then.

Hello Everyone, I have really been missing all of you, my computer was not working for the last week and I been in need for for new friends, I did get a call from my son last Wednesday but I told him he had the wrong number and hung up, he then called my husband who called me to tell me I had hung up on him so eventually after the 4th attempt I got to talk to him. He sounded wonderful but told me he may not get his job that he went in for, they were suppose to tell him last Thursday or Friday and I have not gotten a letter yet with those dates in it. He did tell me he got 3 wisdom teeth pulled and still was really swollen but said the nurse was really nice. Anything new that I have missed, what is the update on the meet and greet on Thursday night.
