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."

But remember I am an hour away from GL. So I will probably always get mine first.
Dont be discouraged that means the division was given time to write on Sunday and yours is coming.
I am not sure that this letter sat well anyway. He is not so happy. Wants this to be over.

From the sounds of it, I think it is hard to adjust to all the different walks of life. He sent his best friend a letter also and didnt sound as bad. Making it sound worse for mom. He did say the food is really good but they dont like it when you fall asleep in class. (lol) Guess this isnt high school anymore. Had to laugh.

Just got on here and would love to hear news from families in the group. Seeing the posting about others getting letters I hope mine is in the mail box today. I'm only about an hour from great lakes.

So bummed about no letter. I can't remember a time when I was this low. Miss him so much.

No letter for me, yet, either. It may be a little while for me to get one, though. He will have to get one of my letters first, as he forgot my new address. Ugh!

I received my first letter today, which made my day. Other than that, he said it sucks and can't wait for it to be over. From what my husband said, it sounds like there may be some issues with some SRs learning how to be quiet and do what they are told the first time. Let's hope they figure it out soon.
