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 got the form letter yesterday! My son wrote me a little note on it "Love you guys tell everyone I said hi. Don't worry, I got this :)" I was and still am on cloud nine!! It is amazing how a little note can make me so happy and ease my mind. Now I can't wait for a personal letter but the note will do for now :)

I got to talk to my SR today :) He needed some info for the background check. He sounded great! He said they are on week 1 - day 2 (although he left for BC 9/13, days prior to this week were P days) Just thought I would mention they were on week 1 - 2 in case any of you wanted to get an idea of what they were doing.They give a day by day on NAVYdep.com. I am sure it is not exact and things vary depending on situations but it gives you an idea of whats going on.

if they are only one week 1, how can 11/9 be PIR? That;; be the 7th week not 8th? Im confused!
-

I'm not exactly sure how they count the weeks. I can also tell you that as of Wednesday afternoon 9/26 they have not received nor been able to send any mail. They still have not finished training an SR to handle the mail (Federal law requires them to do that)
-

-
So they are just on week 1? How is that if they have been gone for 3 weeks? Is your son in DIV 371?
Just trying to get an idea when I might get a call or letter.
