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."

ot letter today, total surprise! He wrote on the 25th and 27th
He said he got tons of mail at once all from the week before.. ???
He thought he had a hernia,,, it has been bothering him,,,he talked to an instructor and he told my son maybe he pulled static (sp) nerve. I dont know anything about that,,, anyone else have an idea? he is worried it does not affect him for BS.... He already did firefighting and gas chamber, said some weird classes for BS (dont know what that means) Said gas chamber was "interesting". (what does that mean, details son! LOL)
He said this would probably be his last letter home,, he felt mixed about that,, happy and sad at the same time. He said he would be calling us Friday ;)))))))))

glad some of you got letters today, mamawalrus don't you just love the tid bits of info they give us lol. I am so ready to go now , I checked on our room checked on the rental printed out the parking pass (plan on taking shuttle but just in case) now it is time to wash and fold cloths to bring for my son and gather up all his stuff he wants in the locker for when he can get them. say a prayer for his best friend he is having a rough time because he will not be able to attend PIR due to college ROTC stuff. he said he feels like he is here alone. him and my son are the best of friends and I charish there friendship so much. I will have to make sure my son calls him as soon as he can after PIR. (after I pull him away from his girlfriend lololol) tomorrow we start on single digits ladies can you believe it.
