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."

Anyone received letters or phone calls from ship 13/div 196 other than form letter? Just wondering. Without a computer or smartphone I don't know if my son knows how to write :D Not having access to one must be a real adjustment.

GOT A CALL TODAY! Danny called about 1:15 Georgia time. It was so good to hear from him. I wish I had recorded it cause I'm sure I can't remember half of what he said. He said that either they can only mail or only write on Sundays and he just got our letters. He said to ignore the rant in his letter about not writing him (LOL). I can't wait for the letter now. He said he wrote 8 pages. He didn't write that much in 4 years of high school. Hope everyone else heard from their loved ones.

Got call from SR 195 hour ago. He's bored! They just completed week 1. So he had plenty of hold days. BS 21 will be right before PIR. Hopefully he'll have more things to occupy him now that training has started.

Danny is going to Pensacola also. He left Atlanta on the 10th. So It's been 2 1/2 weeks since I've heard anything. He will be IT also.
