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."

Has anyone gotten a letter from their SR yet?? I am looking for mine today or tomorrow! I was lucky enough to have had a quick phone call from my son on Saturday but it seems like its made me want to communicate with him even worse then I did before, UGH! Do any of you know if the recent military downsizing will effect our new Recruits? Hoping you all have a Wonderful Wednesday :)

No letter yet. My SR also called twice on Saturday. He said everyone was done making calls and they still had 30 minutes. So the RDC's let them make 2nd calls if they wanted. I was so happy. My 1st call was only 12 min. 2nd call was about 30 and I was able to get my other sailor on a 3-way call. It was awesome!! He said we should get our letters this week. I'm thinking Thursday. Hang in there. The letters will start coming. :)

Hi everyone! I'm new to this, I am not a mom but my fiancé is in ship 11 div 131. I just got his first letter and am SO happy!!!! I have been writing him everyday for three weeks. There isn't a lot of info online about how and what to mail. I sent all the letters priority in one envelope. Was that a huge mistake? I need your advice. Thank u so much everyone :)

I just mailed mine all individually. Just to make sure they didn't have to open in front of RDC's. Anything to draw attention to them, could be embaressing. My daughter is in the same division. Where are you from?

Hi! I'm from arizona :) how about you? How is your daughter doing?
I thought so, good to know. I won't do that again. -

I am from OH. She is doing well, got blisters on her feet. Says is not as cold as she thought it would be, and food is good, I think she is missing some junk food tho...lol. You should be able to put 3-4 pages of regular paper in an envelope. Check with the post office then you will know for all the rest. Have a great day only 5 more Fridays. Are you going to PIR?

I am counting down too! Never driven to Chicago before, but driving not the problem. Waiting stinks, but you already know that. Have a good night.

Hello everyone! I have been writing my SR every day but have not had an opportunity to talk to him on the phone. I am all the way on the west coast. Do any of you know if they are getting letters? Is the processing time at the RTC several days? Thanks for your help :)
