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."

My son is in Div 012, ship 13. We have recd 3 letters so far and 1 15 min phone call. That came on the 18th. My husband and I were so excited and very relieved that we were here to get the call. We are planning to drive from Baton Rouge to the PIR. Does anyone know if the SR's will be allowed liberty on Thanksgiving day? My son will fly out to So Carolina for A school on Friday, we're sure hoping we'll get to spend extra time with him.

I received my second letter this morning. Seems to me the Navy has not broken my son's sarcastic sense of humor. On the bottom of the second form letter, he left a little note. I said, "The unpredictable event was Thanksgiving who would have thought about that."

I am in the same boat...My son is in Div 011 and we have only received one letter and the form letter. Nothing else...It seems to me that there hasn't been a lot of communication from this division. Please any other moms that hear anything at all post it here. My stomach is in knots wondering why we haven't heard from him. I send two - three letters every week, even include a self addressed postage paid envelopes and still nothing....
