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 am glad to hear that I am not the only one who feels lost. I really appreciate this site. It has been so informative. My son is SHIP 11 Div 037. I haven't gotten a letter from him yet, except for the form letter. Still have so many questions.

Roz1008, My son is also on SHIP 11 Div 037. I got the forma letter and two phone calls. The first for 26 seconds. :( And just yesterday for 18 min. He needed information for security clearance...But I have not received a real letter either. He told me they can only write on Sundays and then probably mail it on Monday. I had written him two and he had not received either one.

@robinbird1...I also got mine Saturday as I was leaving...I also backed up the driveway, I ran in the house and grabbed all my letters, addressed them and took off to the post office. I hope the Christmas break comments are true!! Made my Monday! Then I seen the comment about it was only confirmed for "A" school so far and now I'm tensed up again! Keeping my fingers crossed!
