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."

Hang in there wamom...maybe tomorrow you will get one. I hope you do. Couldn't agree with you more. This is by far the hardest thing I have had to go thru! I'm here if you need to talk.

not sure how you are with your SR recruiter, but i had plenty of time to bond with mine. since there where so many recruits going through hell and getting discharged, Even though I seem to be getting mail pretty frequentyly now I call the recruiter at least once a week and have him check to see where my son is. He can't tell you exactly where he is but he can access the system to make sure he is still on ship 7 where he should be. Just a thought for you to help ease your mind on those really long days. PM if you need to talk. I'm praying for you and all the SR

I actually just talked to his recruiter yesterday. It does help that is for sure. My son gone way above my expectations as far as mail so I have been very fortunate. Hopefully Wamom will get her letter today. I know it always helps me. Keeping all of our SR's in my prayers as well.
