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."

Hi imadreamer!
Welcome to the group. I am doing well. I got a letter from my son yesterday. He seems to be ok. He shared that his blisters are getting better. He passed his first personal inspection, but failed another inspection because his rack was not made properly. The boy never was any good at making his bed! How are you and your daugthers doing? Where are you from?

We are from Washington. Doing pretty good today since we got a letter and a call! Keep your phones handy ladies, they are coming! It sounds like a bad cold or bronchitis is running through the ranks though. My husband passed his personal inspection but failed rack because his bunk mate didn't do the sheets right. Bunk mates maybe? =) He also said they earned the academic flag.

I just got a letter! Z said he was in medical on Sunday for a cough. Hope its just a cold or bronchitis. He sounds good! He said they now have time to write on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I did get to talk to him on the phone a week or so ago.

Our daughter asked me to send her moleskin because of blisters. Of course by the time she got it, her blisters were pretty much healed! She did say it comes in handy for when they have long marches though because the blisters are more likely to come back.

What is moleskin? I haven't heard of that.

It's a self adhesive foam padding that you can find in the foot care area of most grocery stores or big box stores. You cut a piece the size you need and place it over a blister to keep it from getting irritated and to help it heal.

Ah! My boyfriend is 03/306 i've been trying to find other people with this! I cannot WAIT until he's done. Im sooo proud of him <3 Ive gotten 3 letters since he's been there and one phone call which i missed:((( im so upset i missed it. in every letter hes always talking about ironing or making his bed. which is hilarious because before he left his clothes were almost never not wrinkly and his bed was awful ahahhaa like, his pillows would be on the other side of the room, sheets flying off of his mattress. its so funny trying to picture him doing the things they have to do in BC

Hi! Glad you found us! Must be a guy thing, because before this my son didn't know a made bed from an unmade bed! Where are you from? What is your boyfriend doing for A school?

My daughter A is in this group too. It's been hard having her gone but we are so proud of her! Her most recent letter says that she was accepted to be part of the Ceremonial Guard and that she's really excited about it.
