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."

My husband is in this division! His mom and I have arranged plans to arrive Thursday and leave Saturday afternoon.
I'm still waiting for my 'real' letter to come, how about you?
You can find my mother in law's page under GuamMom. Debera1952 also has a son in this division.

I also have a son in this div. I got a phone call the first Sunday he was in BC. I was outside and missed it. Have not talked to him at all since he left 6/26. Have not received any letters except the form letter a week ago Saturday.

Like both of you, we haven't gotten any letters or calls either. Only the first call that he arrived and we received his "box". I read somewhere they get a call the third or fourth week so i would carry your phone everywhere this week! My husband and i were practicing on our cell phones how to do up to" five-way" calling. (at&t is max of five). It was a good tip from a friend with a son in the air force BC. I wanted to practice it because when we get that call I will either be too nervous or Ryan will call my father and I won't be with him. I DO NOT WANT TO MISS my boys voice!
Any one from Florida?
Four of us are flying up for 8/26 PIR and staying from Thursday - Sunday. I'm afraid to leave on Sat just in case I get time with him before he flies out. Even if we go and wait with him at the airport. We did that in Miami and got 3 extra hours
with him. -
