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."

So how many of you got letters this week and how many didn't get one yet? I am still waiting for my real letter from my son. All I have gotten in the short note written on the back of the address/pir forms they sent last week. Just wondering if most of the division wrote or if it was more random.

No letter for me :( But -- he must have more important things to do!! I got a quick note on the back -- with a heart that "Dude next to me made me draw." If I ever find that "Dude" I'm gonna give him a hug!!

You should ask if it was someone from his ship/div and ask for their name and surprise them with a letter. That is the type of influence I would love for my son to have. (:

There has been talk that we MIGHT get a call this week. We are still trying to figure out what training day they are on. Once we know for sure the training date we can figure out when we will get the call. Sorry, know this doesn't answer your question very well.

GA mom .. why is he feeling down? Hopefully bythe this weekto he'll bebring feeling bettetdown about everything. The goodher news is..from what i heard last week they have not had a severe beatdown but once. My SRs biggest complaint is that they many are not working as a team, which is what has made it difficult.
