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."

I got the letter today! Doin' the happy dance!
My son left Oct 1st for GL. Its been a long, tearful week. I have been a basket case. Now today, I am actually smiling and so happy, relieved and feeling soooo much better! I got the form letter, with his handwriting filling in the blanks! I could have kissed it! Now I know his address, his ship and his graduation date!
Who would have thought a form letter could make me so happy?! LOL
His graduation date is Nov. 27th! The day after his sisters birthday and the day before Thanksgiving! I don't know how that will work, if he will have to fly out on Thanksgiving to Pensacola or what. I know I am grateful now, today for this blessing. It was just what I needed!
Any moms out there with a Nov. 27th PIR date? Let me know!
I am in Indiana, about 3 1/2 hours from GL. My best to all moms here! Hang in there! xxoo

Yes, exactly! Its the communication being cut off that drove me crazy! I am like you, we talked everyday. But he still lived at home with me. We were so close, it makes it even harder. But to get his letter-wow-that really helped me SO much! Even though its just a form letter, it was awesome for me. I am glad I got the letter before the box. A big sigh of relief. Now we can send our letters and cheer him on!
