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."

Everyone in the household got letters today. Short but sweet. Not a lot of new info that he hadnt already shared with us on the call Saturday. He is very happy. What a relief. Hope they all did well this week. I dont talk a lot on here, but I read every word you all write. It helps immensely!
Nathan's mom: My son is going to Pensacola for A-School but I have not gotten a departure date from him yet. That is on my list for the next call!
Tmasters: My son is 19, and last name begins with an R. We are from Indiana. I think my son is hysterical, so I am not sure if that's who your son is refering to.

Robsproudmom - put me down for 8 if there's enough to go around. I don't want to be greedy. I can get away with 6 if someone else needs them.
WELCOME to the new ladies!
Received a letter yeterday. Things sound great for the most part. Said a recruit's mom passed away but I don't know the details. That had to be absolutely awful! Please pray for him and his family.
I thought it was funny because he told us to wash our hands after we read the letter because of all the germs still over there. After all the years of me telling HIM that....go figure. :)
Gotta go...will check back later. Have a good evening ladies.

don't know if we can say nicknames but my son said in a letter once that they called him PT Stud. I guess all that intense training he did paid off. He was offered a Special Ops Contract started training for it and then declined and kept his HM contract. We are very proud of his accomplishments. As well as very proud of all the other fine gentlemen in this division
