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'm not exactly sure which day it was mailed out. He said in it that he was still in his processing days and that his real training would start "next Thursday" when he moved to their permanent ship, so it was obviously sometime between March 26th and April 1st. It REALLY does brighten spirits! It was the first time I felt like I was actually talking to him, because it was written exactly like he would say it, with all the "lol"s and stuff haha!

I got a phone call from my recruit the Saturday after he left (so March 27th) but haven't heard from him since besides the note in the form letter. I am hoping for the first written letter this upcoming Thursday. What day was his full written letter mailed out? I wish I had gotten one, sure could use it to brighten my spirits haha

My boyfriend is Ship 14 Div 189 and left 3/23. We got all his info around the 29th, then his form letter a few days later. I got a full written letter from him when I got home from vacation this Saturday night!!! I never knew mail could be THAT amazing! I'm definitely counting down the next 46 days! I'm really hoping it'll go by quickly! Hope everyone gets letters and/or phone calls soon!
