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."

Then received like three letters from him, he told me one of his shipmates not getting letters so now I have two boys I write to - so very proud of them both HOORAHH!! GO Navy !!

oh nooo Jae, I got my 2nd call, I am hoping for my 3rd, but it funny each time he called my heart sinks for a just a bit because I heard, 'no news is good news' so when he calls I think 'oh gosh, he is hurt, sick or something that is going to push him back from 7/9 PIR' but every time he proves me wrong and just wants to hear mom's voice - gosh its hard letting him off the phone to..lol

Tracy - there isn't a graduation packet. The only official thing we get is the initial form letter with the division assignment and a password to get your parking pass. I don't want you to keep looking in the mail for something that isn't going to come. Oh, and the no news is good news is mainly to remind those of us that don't get any phone calls that they are ok. Pretty hard to not hear your loved ones voice when everybody else posting their phone calls. Two more weeks, 13 days and a wake up and we will get to SEE them. WOOT WOOT
