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 heart is with you...i am going thru the same thing, except my son left 12/09 - i got his first call when he arrived and then the second call jan. 5-i sent him 2 prepd calling cards of $10.00. he says he can only write on Sundays, but he gets mail everyday. He mentioned it's very sad when your name does not get called at "mail call" so write him everyday! Let him know your daily routine it makes it easy for him and for you. I still shed tears so don't try not to cry. Let it out if it makes u feel good. i will keep you informed of any status i will be going feb 9 for the graduation of feb 11. Good luck and stay strong...write him EVERYDAY!

I feel for you. Our son left Wednesday and it's just so weird around here. The silence is odd and my phone is quiet. He and I always texted even if we were in the same house! I miss him terribly. Lets look forward to his first call and address. Oh, and pray these next 8+ weeks go by fast!
