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."

my daughter is ship 11 and div 77. Got her box, got navy letter and got the special surprise call from her. However not personal letter for us yet, although she stated she was able to write on Sunday's. Mail is slow I say, her Dad is desperate to hear from her. We did find out her friend who is in the navy has received two letters as he has written her one for each day she has been there. I know she is doing well in my heart though, Hoping to hear of more moms from same ship and div as the time gets closer. Daughter will be staying at GL when she is done with BC. Wishing you all the best.

no but i ran into a young lady Seaman in her work gear at the mall his afternoon and she gave me hope and faith that all is going good, No news is good news, her BF a fellow Seaman said that they give them one day bed rest after Wisdom teeth (must be why I had a restless night last week) and that they do make them write home on Sundays. I know in my heart all is well, and that these two were sent to keep me moving forward. I have this week off work and I have made 12 dozen cookies!!!! Taking some to the recruiters tomorrow. Until 31/01/2014

I did get a letter from my SR. doing well but it is hard, been a while since school. Need to freshen up on the study again. This SR will be ok. Asked for prayers it was hard to hear our voices, knows how much missing home. It will be ok. NAVY STRONG! Like in HS they tell SR your too quite, statement that has never been liked by this young SR. This too shall pass. SR given a lead roll and that will build this young SR. All good...Happy parents in NJ. Although the SR wrote on Sunday it was mailed out on Monday and I got it today.
