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."

Phone Calls, Letters and Communication
Yesterday my daughter called, and I missed it! She called her dad too, and at least left a message for him. It was great to hear her voice, even on a message! When she didn't get either of us, she called her bio-mom and did talk to her. She said that today their third week. I thought they were already into their fourth week! She said they weren't allowed to call or send mail until yesterday. She received her first mail on Tuesday (I'm sure it was alot, we've all been writing!) She also said she's written a bunch, just couldn't send them and needs more stamps! She said they won't be able to call again until the last week before PIR. Did anyone else get a call? Letter?

Zip, zero, nada. As of today I haven't received any mail or calls. But for the very first time, one person in div. 057 just today got her first letter dated 12/12/10 and was sent on the 14th. The rest of us are still working and can't go home to check !!!
Trying to stay positive.

We got a letter today! It was dated 12/8/10. Jordyn said she passed her swim test (which she was worried about). She also had two wisdom teeth pulled. I was so excited to get her letter. She also wrote a secon letter for her younger siblings. I didn't open that one because they are all with their grandparents. I am curious what she told them though, as they are only 7, 4, and 2. Jordyn said she is doing well and is adapting to the "strict and intense lifestyle". I am excited to hear what your loved ones write about!

Well we are div 53, and our call came on the 15th. Hopefully you will get the call soon! We missed it, so be on lookout for an 847 area code. I;m hoping they will work really hard to earn an additional call home on Christmas! What a gift that would be!

I am actually a dad and a member of Navy Dads since before he left...but the truth is you Moms are awesome and communicate better than most dads. My wife has already been on N4M but I watch constantly on both sites and wanted to comment when it made sense to, since you accept dads as well...I joined. I got my I'm alive call today. Wow...was that even my son? He sounds like such a man...but he said everything is going well and loves his fellow sailors. Ship 11 Div 57 if your son or daughter is there...mine had high praise for them.
