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 have had 4 phone calls, 2 were to let me know how he was doing and then 1 was to ask me to fax some documents up there, and the last one was to ask me what our daughter's SSN was. He said he wrote a letter and sent it out.

Sub wife that's lucky. John called his mom when he got there and then that friday I got a 57 sec phone call just to say he loved me and missed me and would be writing soon so they must have gotten an extra one. I wonder if John has gotten my letters or if he's sent one out yet?

I'm hoping to get a letter this week too. I don't know when they can start writing, but I guess I'm kind of always hoping that I'll get a call or letter every week.

Yeah same here and tomorrow will be 2 weeks since he got there so I'm hoping it's about time he gets to get his mail and get some sent out.

Hi Everyone....My son is Ship 12 Div 168...I received his letters today! There were 2 letters in one envelope...the first one was written March 23...second March 27...We live a couple of hours from bootcamp...so close..but yet so far! It was so great to get his letters. Seems like the lack of sleep has been hard for him...he says he has night watch from 2-4am!
