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 received my letter 4 days ago. Not in his own words though. It did have his address and all info we needed to know.

I also have the mail app! It's great! The feeling of seeing his handwriting pop up on that screen is indescribable.

My son is in the same ship and division as yours. :-)

Did you receive a call from your son yesterday? If so, did you have a hard time hearing him? I felt so bad as I could hardly hear anything he said.

AJDJ if that happens again there should be a button on pay phone have him to locate and turn up the volume in his end. Just in case it happens again.

I got a phone call Saturday night. I could hear pretty well, lots of background noise but thats to be expected I guess.

Received his first letter today. Since I had a hard time hearing him Saturday morning when he called, it was nice to be able to read what he has been up to. He is definitely missing home! He said the Division of guys is great so that makes me happy (and relieved).

So cool! I didn't know there was a mail app. I'm going to have to check it out. Thanks.

Letter and PHONE CALL TODAY!!!!! It was so great to talk to him! Could barely hear him..so make sure you're in a very quiet spot when you receive yours. He's ok, said tests are the worst lol. Looking forward to more talks :)
