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."

HI All-
I am KevsMom (Carole) and we are from greater Boston (Boston/Metrowest for anyone familiar w the area).
We are looking forward to PIR and to meeting his friends and their other families. We have thus had 1 (brief but wonderful) phone call and 2 letters (second more upbeat than the first). He has mentioned that one of his buddies is from Houston, another from Tennessee and his bunk mate is from Wisconsin. I look forward to connecting. :-) Stay well everyone.

Hi..my son is in Division 351. We are from an area just outside of Los Angeles. I have received one letter and two phone calls. It is hard to get all the details in a 3 minute call, but it sounds like he is settled in and doing what he needs to do to graduate. We will be traveling to PIR. We are looking forward October 16th. It can't come soon enough. Also looking forward to meeting those in this group.

I talked with Candice for over 30 min on Saturday. It was a sweet relief. She said she's doing fine. She still have to float. She haven't been able to do that. So her plan is to gain weight. Lol. She's looking forward to graduation. I received letters that Friday before that. Awesome
