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."

Thanks so much for the BS date. I had been given two dates, but the 19th is the one most are reporting. Calls will come in on the afternoon of the 20th...can start as early as 2 pm GL time. Thanks again!
I got a call today, did you? My son sounded very tired, but said he was glad he joined the Navy.

Well, that's a cool name!!! I haven't met that many with the same name so far!!
BC really is the worst when it comes to hearing from our girls!! That and certain deployments can also really hamper keeping in touch!! I was very lucky in that after A school, my daughter had an office job M-F and there were times I heard from her everyday!!! She separated in Sept and just recently got hired as a civilian contractor at the same command she served at in uniform!!! As a PS most of those jobs are given to civilians anyway so she lucked out!!! Not sure what it will be like when my other daughter goes to work for the Navy full-time!!!
Be sure to let us know if there is anything we can help you with. Or just to have someone to vent to!!!
COMom92,
I see you joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!! We are a friendly, caring group of moms always willing to listen and support. Please feel free to jump in and join our chats!! We like to discuss everything from our sailors to our jobs, weather, whatever. It's also a great place if you want to yell, scream, vent, cry - - there is no judgment involved!!! Brag about your sailor but also tell us when you are hurting because you miss her so!!! Looking forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!
Great News, I got a letter today. It is really odd, there is no postmark. Maybe that created a delay.
He is doing great. He said on Thanksgiving that he had prime rib, ham, stuffing, corn & powerade. He said the days are long and that from Nov 21 to Dec 1 had been phold and pdays for processing.
He said he had received letters from me and that he loved them. I was glad to hear that he is getting mail.
He also said he was made section leader. He said his division is 90 and there are 6 sections leads and that he is one of them responsible for 13 recruits.
He said days are long but he is doing great.
This letter was written on Dec 2nd, which he said he just finished day 1 of week 1. He said he was in phold and pdays from Nov 21-Dec 1st.
