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."

My son is also in 807 and 3 of us in my family got letters on Friday. Perhaps 808 wasn't allowed to write? Should be soon, but if they only get to write on Sundays it might be mid-late week, not sure, but rest assured, they're doing fine, working hard and learning to fold laundry, sew on button, shine shoes, clean bathrooms, and not forget to do what they're told.

Ha Ha....my son complained about shining shoes and ironing all day. Now they know how we feel. :o) I'm thinking even if 808 couldn't write on Sunday, maybe they wrote on Monday (holiday) and you will get mail on Mon./Tues. Otherwise it will be Thurs./Fri.

I hope so. When my husband sent me the graduation info he wrote on the bottom that he had already written me a letter. I hope tomorrow is the day!! Weird that the 808's haven't gotten letters out, but glad to know I am not the only one!

It was long, over five pages - certainly the longest thing he has ever written to me. He sounded like a different person. He said it's hard but he is doing good. Said to remember his division and pray for unity.
