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."

To see if you've got messages look in the upper Right hand corner and beside of inbox will show if you have messages.

My Daughter Arnemann has this ship number. She left 3/22. I did get the standard letter telling me her graduation date and mailing address but I have not received the box or any letters from her. I hope to hear something soon. I really miss my daughter.

Hello jw,
Glad to see more people coming in here. I cant believe you havent received her box yet. How old is your daughter? My son is 18. I just hope everything is well with them. From what im seeing so far it looks like no phone calls is a good sign right now, so im sure they are doing good. I cant wait for my first letter as well. Poor mailman if only he knew how important he is right now to me..lol...
Anyways welcome and hope to hear from you soon. Lynn -

Hi Sweetic70,
My daughter is 23 and I thought by today I would have received something from her but no and I am a little worried. I was stalking the mailman myself today lol. I hope you and everyone else in our group had a wonderful Easter Sunday.
I will let you know when I do hear from my daughter.
Thanks,
