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."

Deb, I hope you receive letter or call soon. I know what it's like just waiting - it really wears on you. Just know that he or she is in good hands. So, who do you have in BC - a son or daughter?

Thanks Donna, we have a son, finally heard from him, both a phone call and a letter! He sounded good, started to get a little emotional though. He is the mail PO so he says everyone likes him because he gets to give them their mail. Well lets all keep each other infomed of news!

I do! I just spoke with my son for the first time, 2 nights ago. We have received one of his letters. I hope to find another in the mail tomorrow. I have personally mailed him about 20 letters, in addition to letters from his sisters, family and friends.......and he has not received a single letter. We had to get his mailing address from his recruiter and he forgot to tell us the division #, so my son has not received a single letter ;( I really hope he gets them soon. He sounded very down (homesick), when we spoke with him. I am new to this site and must say it's a bit overwhelming with all of the information.I am trying to find out details on his PIR, such as closest hotel, airport, should we come up a few days early????? Should I pull his sisters out of school and bring them? Coming from FL, and I am not sure if I should pay so much money bringing our entire family or should I just come with my husband........Too many sleepless nights since my baby left....I can't seem to make a decision...LOL
