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."

Hello everyone, I would like to share something with you and hopefully will put your mind at ease. Some of already know this because we PM'd. I wanted to keep it on the lo down because I didn't want my son getting into any trouble for answering my questions. But my son called me yesterday afternoon because he needed some references info. He said they have not written letters yet and they haven't received any yet. He said he will call again on Sunday which might very well be the whole division. They didn't touch his wisdom teeth but they will revisit them next year. He was extremely tired and could barely hold a thought. Major sleep deprivation. He did laugh a couple of times and asked how his dog was. And Monday was their first day of PT. Processing this whole time. I held it together during the whole conversation until the end when I said goodbye and he said he loved me and I lost it. I was at work. My coworkers knew it was him on the phone and came running to hug me and give me tissues. This is still the very beginning and its so darn hard. So I just wanted to tell u ladies know because I feel your pain every time I see a message about waiting for letters. I was sooooo happy to hear his voice. It really made my day and I feel guilty in a way because you are all waiting to hear your child's voice as well. Take care everyone. Hugs to all!

MassMomS14/D192, thank you so much for sharing. I'm reading this and could not hold back the tears. You are right, this is just the beginning and we have a long way to go. Although, in the grand scheme of things, 8 weeks (now 6) is not that long. I would just like to get a letter or a phone call for peace of mind. My daughter has been gone before for 3 months (working in Texas) but she stayed with family and I could call her anytime. This is so much harder. I'm very proud of her and what she has chosen to do with her life. Sending big hugs to all the moms on here. I know we could all use one. Have a great day.

Teri, I feel the same as you. I am off work this work for our Spring Break, and I am normally keeping myself so busy or working on new projects around the house. This week, it is as though I have hit a hard spot. I know it is from not being able to talk to her and or receive a letter. It is good to be able to open to you and other moms knowing that I am not the only one to be going through this. Big hugs to all of you. Have a great day!

Massmoms, thank you for sharing your story with us. Don't feel bad you talked with your son. If anything it does help to hear what he said about what they are doing and not doing. Still no letter for me, maybe tomorrow.
