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 haven't written any letters yet. I just keep trying to put myself in his place. I would be a nervous mess.

Another friend said she got the box in about a week and the first letter came about 3 days later. I am thinking by Monday.

good Luck today... I know how you feel today and my heart just dropped when I read your post. Today is really the first day of his new life. My son has only been gone 6 days and i am still crying on a daily bases. Never sad tears for him but only tears of being so proud of the decision to serve his country. Stand strong...NMH ( Navy Mom Hug )
