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."

My daughter, Ship 14, Div 218, said in her last letter that they failed a test and they have 1 more chance to pass. If they fail again, it could push their PIR date back 2 weeks. Has anyone else heard this also? I'm a bit stressed about it.

I have talked to my son since he wrote his last letter, and he didn't mention anything like that.

Hopefully I am stressing over nothing. I am holding off buying plane tix so I hope I hear from my daughter again soon!

My son is Ship 14 Div 218. He has called home twice and has written letters the past two weeks. After high school he attended college one year and worked one year while in DEPS. He always said he was going to enlist but waited until he felt sure of his decision. He is loving bootcamp, but missing home. He has mentioned a few guys in his division - one ran track in high school and helped him with his breathing while completing his run. Another with initials MC has become a close friend. I would love to meet these moms.

my son also had 3 wisdom teeth pulled. he was on bed rest for 2 days but said it didn't put him behind. I've received 3 calls and only one letter, he's not much of a writer, unless it's to his girlfriend, lol. He is having a great time, loving every minute of it. He misses home and being able to text/talk to everyone. Cant wait till 7/11!!
