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."

Great to hear. My son also mentioned the mail when I talked to him yesterday. He got some of my letters but not all. He also told me he enjoys writing letters. Go figure.

To all My son called yesterday and said they were getting their dress blues soon and having their pictures made this week. He also mentioned marlinspike...I think I am spelling it correctly. That is when they practice untying (sp) the ship from the dock. If I am correct this will be week 3 for them. Hope this is helpful!

No & no I feel your pain. No letter here for 2 weeks either. I'm trying to take comfort in the knowing if something was wrong he would get a call but it would still be nice to hear something.

No call for me either. Son in Div 055. Did receive letter on Thursday. That seems to be my day for letters if he writes on Sunday. Sunday is the only day they get to write. At least that is what I have heard from other moms. Hope we do get calls today but not banking on it since they got to call last weekend. No news is good news at times! but it doesn't make it any easier for us loved ones!

Hi Mom2Bella......I got a letter today and was lucky enough to get a call late Saturday night as my son answered some questions correctly. I think I was just a lucky mom.
We are driving up there for Christmas to spend time with him and his barrack mate.....Next Wednesday can't come soon enough!
