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."

Received a long letter from our daughter today. She sounded good and proud of her accomplishments. She said they were supposed to be allowed to call last week but something must have changed as we didn't receive a call. Has anyone received a second call? Our first call was Saturday Sept. 28.

Cindy, We also got a call on that Saturday, but none since. Not really expecting any more, but you never know! We got a letter last Thursday, so I'm hoping a second will come today, since our form letter came on Thurs. also.

We got our first letter on a Thursday, so I'm guessing 4 days from when it's mailed. Can't wait for the next.

Yay. It's great to meet another Ship 11 Div 003 mom. I have gotten phone calls on Saturdays but this week I got one on Thursday. Guess I don't have to sit on my cell phone today waiting for a call. My son was having his wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. Hope it went ok.

Yeah, it's best to be prepared all the time, I guess. Although it sounds like we might not hear from them any more now that they are in week 3.
