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."

Yay Karen! God is good! All those prayers are being answered! That is so neat that they know each other! My son was probably talking to his girlfriend when your son was talking to you. I am soooo glad you heard from him. What is an FB account?

My son was also on FB today, don't know if any of you have a FB account, but they must get computer time. He left a message on his girlfriends page. She got to chat with him for a little bit in the instant chat.

I got a phone call today, just a little bit ago! YAY!!!! He has finally gotten some of my letters, and he's sounded the best I've heard him sound, since he's left for BC. He says he's been walking around the track and thinks he has a couple more weeks in RCU, before he gets moved to a new division. He's thinking he should graduate in Oct. Best phone call!!! My prayers are being answered. And BTW, mrssauce60 ~ my son knows your son. Your son was actually close by when I was on the phone with my son, because my son yelled out to your son and said, "Hey ******, my mom talks to your mom on Navy 4 moms! Isn't that awesome??? God is Good, he's looking out for our boys.

Karen, keep writing him and encourage him to write you. I think it is beneficial for him to write also.

Got letter from my son today. Sounded upbeat! So, that is 3 weeks in RCU. His girlfriend just texted and said he had called her and he sounded good. So maybe everyone will get a phone call this weekend.

JDs Angel ~ I sent you a friend request!

No, No letter :( I talked with his girlfriend and no letter to her either. Don't know what's going on with him this week. He had a DR. Appt on Mon. also, but don't know how he made out? Hopefully he has gotten all his lost mail along with all the current letters i've been sending to the correct address. JDs Angel ~ Last letter I got from my son, he also hated it in RCU. He said there were guys there that have been there for 4 mos. with stress fractures, and he said he didn't think he could stay there that long. I just keep sending encouraging letteres. Don't know what else I can do. I feel like I keep repeating myself in all his letters. I'm glad we all have the support of one another.
