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 daughter is on Ship 03 Div 035 and I received her letter last Wednesday. She said that she should be calling soon. I just hold on to my phone at all times because we never know when they will call. I know exactly how you feel. This is my only girl and I miss her so much. I have found that being on this site has helped answer and calm me down more. Hang in there. I just keep thinking that I will see her soon.

My son is on Ship 11 Div 037 and we have not received a letter or phone call. I am really hopeful that a letter will come this week or a phone call over Thanksgiving. I keep wondering what they will be doing on Thanksgiving.

Our son is on Ship 11 Div 037 and we still have not heard anything from him. He left on 10/23 and his PIR date is 12/21 also. It would just ease my mind to hear his voice or at least read a letter. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through.

My son is on ship 11 div 038 and I am waiting patiently for a letter! We got a lot of mail out to him last week when I got his address. I know he said he would get a phone call after 3 weeks, does anyone know if he gets the opportunity to make more than one call?

I heard that my son got a phone call too. He is 18 and decided to call his 16 yr old GF...Hmm!! Who is paying for the ticket home? It was a short call, but nonetheless, I would like to have talked to him. Guess all those letters I sent every single day vs. her 2 ltrs really means nothing to an 18 yr old...That's okay..1 phone call...no call mom...retaliation...ha!! jk...Glad he's ok, I guess...She doesn't remember what he said, it was a 5 min call...Alrighty then...
