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."

It is possible for the letters to take up to 3 weeks. Don't worry just yet. If you don't receive a letter by the end of the week then I would start to worry.

I have not received my form letter yet either, and it sometimes is concerning. I did get her division information from her recruiter so I'm sending letters anyway. I'm wondering if it could have gotten lost in the mail. But I stick to the mantra "no news is good news", so I'm sure everything is going fine. Oh, and she left June 20th.

Jill, I'm a Post Master for the USPS. I just can't believe they would lose our mail!!!! But if I dont get a letter soon I'll go find ours. And no news is good news. My daughter called Mon. from the hospital she is going to be fine and they were going to release her the next day. I hope its not a really bad set back for her. It was still good to hear from her though. So you don't want one of those calls. Keep checking the mailbox!!!!!!
