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."

SHIP 14 (formerly7) DIV 259 and DIV 260
Got our letter today. So happy to see my son's writing on that envelope. Now just waiting for the first letter from him. Just thought I would start a place for discussions for all the love ones of those in Ship 7 Div 259 and Div 260.

I hope so now. The letter I got yesterday said they had been so busy that they had not had time to get mail. I dont' know if he was just not wanting to say they where intentional holding it or not. That letter was from Sunday. Hopefully by now, they are getting mail.

I know, that's what my husband and I say to each other. I'm glad to see I'm not the only mom who takes letters to work for others to read. I'm just so proud of him. He would probably not be happy though, so we won't tell.
