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 know, it's hard isn't it. Well, at least we can keep ourselves busy and make the time go by faster!! When you send your son a letter ask him if he knows a Marc in his Division. I'll send one to my 'baby' and ask him if he knows Roland!

They love letters, the more the better! I write my boyfriend every day. It's good for us to write them, too. At least for me, it helps me feel more connected with him.

Hi!
I have been waiting for this group. Is it private? My son is on ship 13, the reports are good, he sounds happy and confident. I love sending him letters, I have seen Navymom1972's comments a bit which heartens me my son is in with good people as she seems like a strong and loving person. So happy to be a part of this group. :)
