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."

Today, Thursday is my usual day for receiving a letter from my son Ben. I got six each one said the same thing. The gas chamber sucked but it was no big deal. All the rest said he hates it there he wants to be at home he can't stand being treated like crap he doesn't feel like a real person anymore. He's tired he hardly gets any sleep he doesn't eat. Everything reminds him of home and he gets teary eyed. He's worried about myself and his father how we're copping without him. Were both disabled and up in age. He worries something is going to happen to us and he'll never be able to go hunting with him again. All his friends went to college and are having parties and fun and he's stuck there. We were completely shocked when we read each letter. He was doing real well got 5.0's and 100% in his tests , he won a ribbon and medal in guns. I don't know what happened. I had chest pains all day thinking I'm going to end up in the hospital again with a heart attack and won't be able to see him. He says he has no friends and keeps to himself because he's so sad. His Dad wants to bring him home but I want him to stay he's doing so well. I don't know what to do. He's in division 347 if any one has a son with him could you please ask them if they know him and how is he really doing. Thank You, I would be most grateful.

I'm so sorry your son is having such a hard time. My son is in DIV 348 and they are suppose to be brother divisions but I don't know how much direct contact they have. I know there is a chaplain there maybe he can talk to him it may help. I will pray for him and if he gets a chance to call tell him to hang in there it's almost over.

My son is in Div 347, as soon as we get a call I will ask him. Could you please inbox me & tell me your son's first and last name. I know it's hard but it is almost over. He is in the final stretch. I am saying prayers for him for peace, strength, and guidance to get through the rest of this. Hugs to you.
