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."

Thanks this is great info, I will start putting a letter in the mail everyday! I feel kind of bad now that I know this but at least she has only been there for 2 weeks and I know she has gotten some mail. Just feel bad now knowing she could have been getting it all along.

when i received my form letter, there were some things that my SR said that made me think that he did receive some. i jut dont know how much, but iput one in the mail everyday just so that most nights he'll have something for mail call and something to read before he goes to bed like he does when he's home. it takes about 4 days from my house to reach them so i try to plan out which day he'll get it and write accordingly. but i cant wait for that real letter :) i keep reading that form letter over and over

Proudascanbe - hang in there. I don't think anyone in our training group has gotten a call unless their SR needed to get some specific information or some other unusual circumstance. Some of have gotten a letter but mine at least was very short. Assuming you have your form letter since you know your SRs div number. Visit with us and we will support you. Keep writing those letters. And I don't know- maybe brush your teeth a lot? Ha-ha. That usually keeps me from eating. ;-) we are all in this together and our SRs are working hard.

Thanks for the support ladies....This is the first time in my daughters life that she has been away from home and that I have been without her. I do think that no news is good news and yes they must be working hard!!! Hopefully soon a letter or a phone call I would take anything at this point.

im so discouraged with our mail lady. she didnt pick up my letter but just threw all the junk mail on top :( so he'll have 3 letters in the mail monday morning but im bringing it to the post office this time to be sure its picked up

Hang in there. I put all of my daughters letters in the mail on one day because I thought they only got mail one day a week. So she got 5 letters on one day and then, none for the rest of the week. Unless other people mailed her letters, which is what I am hoping for. From now on I will make sure that there is mail sent to her everyday!
