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 usually don't get my letters until Wednesday and have not been to the post office yet. I did get a call last Tuesday (20) and he said he would call again in 2 weeks. So that would be next week.

My son is in Div 193 ship 14 and is the oldest one in his group. He will be 32 in July. He is married and has a wife & 2 kids that live 5 miles from me. The kids miss him so much - we are all going up to graduation(me, his dad, wife & 2 kids). I have only received 2 letters and no phone calls as he uses those to call his wife and kids. Been a very trying time for me as I don't get all the information - so I depend on websites to get my information. I have heard graduation is awesome. We are staying at the Quality Inn. We live in IL - only about 3 hours away.
