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."

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

I got a letter too! It just takes off so much pressure! He said that it is hard, working 16 hours a day, but he is doing well! As of his writing on 9/24, they have not received their letters yet. Boy is he in for a big surprise when they do!

Hang in there NickCMom, chances are high that he misses you just as much and hopefully you will get that letter tomorrow! I know how it is to have the emotions go in waves and after 35 days from now, they can not escape talking to us!

We haven't received a letter yet - maybe today! Glad you received one & to know that my son is in the same div - 371.

I'm not worried - I figure, no news is good news. My son is exactly where he wants to be, so I'm thrilled for him. We've written a few letters and included the sports news - that's what he really wants to know! He'll be so happy that Cabrerra won the Triple Crown! I know we'll get a letter sooner or later. Content, because my son is happy and working hard!

Okay, we got a letter on Saturday! Now I can't wait to get another. He sounded good and likes his bunk mate - no name given. His ankles are blistered pretty bad, but food is good and he really misses us. He also said he was sorry he didn;t pay attention when I tried to teach him how to make his bed, do laundry and press his clothing - haha. I'm going to frame that!!
