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."

I know the feeling. We received the box and form letter, and all the letter said was that he would call on a Sunday. I am really looking forward to that Sunday....

it's a little early to get a call. That usually comes in the 3rd or 4th week. We have gotten the form letter, but that's all. The first regular letter should come this week.

Where are you located? Do you live in the Northern Neck (Va). My son left on May the 9th so he is just starting week 4 ( I was really hoping to talk to him this past weekend) . He left for boot camp on the same day with a friend but they have different graduation dates. His friend actually is graduating a week earlier. I guess he had to wait until this division filled up.

Has anyone received a phone call yet? I got the form letter two weeks ago, but so far no "real" letter and no phone call. I carry my cell phone with me everywhere!

We should be getting "real" letters this week. Having been through this once before, the letter usually comes around the third week, which is where we are now. Phone calls, if received, are not this soon. Since our SR's are in this division, they do have extra training on Saturdays. It's really hard to be patient. Hang in there. When we got the call from our older son when he was in BC, it was a total surprise as we didn't expect one at all.

Thanks! That is really good to know. It has been hard for me to have no contact with my daughter for all this time, but at least I know she's in good hands and safe. My son was in the Navy, too -- that was 13 years ago, though, and my memory fails me!

Just saw on the PIR page that someone got a letter- maybe that means we'll all get one today. I sure would like to see it. Only question is whether or not we will be able to read it. My son's handwriting is TERRIBLE

I'm glad to hear that you also got a letter. Now maybe a call this weekend. Crossing my fingers :)
