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.

We received a letter from our son yesterday. The letter sounded upbeat and positive and he even told us of a funny thing that happened. I didn't understand the humor but at least the guys had a brief moment to giggle. He said that it is really cold and windy. He heard that they might have snow but hasn't seen any yet. Our son passed his first physical test, YEA!!!!. If I am counting his days correctly, today they would be on 5-1. Also, they had their first fitting for their dress uniform last week. Anyone hear any additonal information about our division?

I totally agree! I am thrilled to hear about S9 Div 10 and what they are up to. My son struggles to fill a page in a letter, but is never at a loss for words when he is with you...so I feel kinda in the dark. Glad they are doing well.

cakemom: Hell week is usually around the 4th week (counted after the processing days are done). That is a very busy week for them...and they get up quite early, but they make it through!
