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 am so sorry for both of you. We will pray that they can remove it and that they do find it is nothing. Praise the Lord he went in so they found it.

I got a letter today from my daughter. It was written on March 15. She said they were going to start Seaman Ship and marching without the RDC's on the next day, which would be March 16. She said she couldn't wait. She said everything is going fine. She sounded very upbeat. It was just a one page letter, but I'll take anything.

Teachermom:
I think you are right about starting week 4 on Tuesday. In my daughter's letter on March 15, she said they were 3-4 (week 3 Day 4)

Hey ML that's great, just got off the phone with my mom she also got a letter from my son and she said hers was dated the 13th and he said it was 3-2 so yes Teacher mom was right I guess that means its week 4-3 today.... I don't know how that works but I'm happy he sounds good and he wrote to his grandparents!!!!! He did say that he is performing at the two graduations prior to his so was happy to be able to Wear his Dress Blues 3 times....lol

He has a job right now in basic he is a Dental Yeoman.. This week is gonna be ruff, Test, 2 Inspections and Live Fire which he says he is looking forward to!!!
Thought I would pass on he dated my letter march 16 (3-4).
Also invade anyone else is curious, If your SR's are attending A school elsewhere from great lakes, he said everything has to be shipped, nothing at all can come back to base- I can bring his phone to him at the USO office in Ohara.... -
