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 received a letter yesterday. My SR is 344. Hopefully you will get one today! The letters were postmarked on the 29th. I was surprised at how fast they arrived. I'm in Missouri so maybe that's why.
I've been missing him like crazy too!
I'm looking forward to meeting others in the same division.

These letters are the best aren't they? I had to re-read my letter a few times,the first time I was reading with tears in my eyes so I was afraid I missed something.. He's not a fan of the food. It makes him miss my cooking..I'm not really sure that was a compliment though..lol This is definitely not the same boy I hugged goodbye 3 weeks ago.. Gosh I could use a hug from him right now!!

Good morning. My son is on Ship 11 Div 343, and I'm so proud of him and of all of your children. I'm eager to attend the graduation, and to see my son --now a man, because he left me a boy.
I'm new to N4M, and was wondering about us parents possibly wearing some identifying ribbon or color in order to be able to recognize each other on the 13th Sept.

I'm certainly up for it. I'm new to the group, but everyone needs support and our kids have chosen a very admirable path.

Welcome g0dzgurl,
Some of us are also on Facebook. It's a little bit easier to communicate on there. Are you staying at the Navy Lodge? -

I'm not staying at the lodge. I guess we'll stay at our usual place when we travel, La Quinta. I hadn't even thought of the Navy lodge as an option. Where can I find info about it?
And, thanks--
