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 phone call when my son arrived and then another when he was on sick call but, thats been it other than letters. My son did say they are in a push Div so rather than 8 weeks of boot they are doing it in 6 1/2 weeks.

You know I worry a bit. It seem like the other ships and divs get phone calls and we don't. You don't think it could be because they are messing up?

I don't know -- but we are way low on the amount of communication compared to the others. My daughter said she's proud of the Division -- didn't say anything particular about them being in trouble or messing up. She complained of the food a bit - and she has shin splints. Other than that - her letters are a fairly good tone. Thanksgiving is a bummer -- she is going with a church group to their home for dinner, She didn't send us the application so we could come and get her to take her off base for the holiday.

I know what you mean, my son told them no that we would not be coming for Thanksgiving because as he said we always do Thanksgiving in St. Charles, Mo with his Grandmother and that he would be seeing us a week later. He doesn't know that his Grandmother passed away on Oct 27. I would have given anything to spend Thanksgiving with him.
