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."

Hi Mom's,
My son is in DIV 055. It sounds like many moms are getting calls today but it looks like from different divisions so I am hoping for a call yet this weekend. My last call was also on Nov 23.
I have received one letter but got word last night from many family members that they received letters which makes me very very happy!
I am so so happy for this sight, reading all of your comments brings some comfort and knowing we all share the same feelings makes me feel 'less alone'. My phone does NOT leave my sight as I don't want to miss any calls!

I'm assuming by your user name your son is in as a nuke? Mine too! Hope they're getting to know each other.

Awesome! Yes, it does sound like each new school will be very challenging. Well at least we know they'll never be bored! At least not for the next 2 years :-)

Hi Moms! My son is on Ship 11 Div 056. I missed his phone call on 11/13 and am still waiting to get his first real letter, so it's very frustrating. My other son (his twin) has PIR next week, 12/6/13. I was fortunate to be able to see him on Thanksgiving and wow what a handsome, polite young man. He had so many interesting stories to share. The main point, however, is that they DO get through this and they just beam with pride!

SandraG - my experience has been almost to the letter exactly like yours. Thankfully most of our kids seem to be adjusting well. And I'm praying for those who aren't. I saw where TKs mom got an encouraging phone call, and FloridaGirl's daughter is having a bit of a rough go with her extra duties, so maybe with a little extra positive energy from everyone on N4M they can find some comfort
