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."

Brettany...my son is Ship 09 Div 189! Have you received any letters or phone calls from you hubby yet? I still have received NOTHING but the "formal" letter but am sure hoping to receive a letter...or phone call SOON! Have you seen anything posted, from other wives or moms, whether they have received any letters yet?

I received my first letter yesterday. I haven't seen anything about any one else getting a letter or call though. He wrote me his letter last Friday and said he would write again on Sunday... That they have about 6 hours to themselves on Sundays. He said that since he is in a mixed division, his RDCs are with the females, and the guys go with division 190 because their RDCs are in charge of the males. Its rough, but hopefully things get better soon. He said he's ready to start having fun!

I also have only gotten the formal letter so far. I read on another discussion (PIR 6/3) from many moms and wives who have been getting letters in the past few days. So hopefully ours are on the way!!! I can't wait to hear from my son how things are going!!! These few weeks have been so difficult!!

I just received another letter today, but this one was written before the first one I got. It was from day 3. But I still have not received the letter with all of his information. I got his grad date and address from his recruiter.

I guess we we're all hoping for a call huh. But at least we know they are safe and sound and will have a good meal.
