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."

Got three letters from my SR today! Sadly nothing about future phone calls :( Though, he said hell week was easy, as is all of bootcamp. He's really looking forward the rest of bootcamp. He also said that the division is finally coming together. "Better late then never" as he puts it!

No letters for me, but hopefully tomorrow. I'm glad you got letters today though.

No letters for me either. Hope mine got through hell week ok. We didn't get a call from him at all either. I'm really missing him.

I know what you mean!! I've had so many highs and lows since he's been gone. This is definately a low day for me. It's been a week since his last letter!! Just to know that he's going though hell week makes me feel like I'm going through hell week too. I can't wait!!! 15 more days!! My 16 year old thinks I'm crazy because I already have our bags out ready to go :)

I'm pretty down in the dumps right now. 9/16 seems so far away yet. I was hoping to hear about hell week and that he made it through alright. We only live 50 miles away from Great Lakes so I really don't need to pack anything. Hopefully we'll hear soon.

From the sounds of my SR, he says that everyone got through it all right. Inspections were hard though, but got a 5.0 on all of them. He says that the division is really starting to come together and it seems like everyone is enjoying themselves now! I'm sure you will get your letters soon! Even my mom was dissapointed when she didn't get a letter. Just think, just a little over two weeks left!! After tomorrow, there is only one more PIR before ours! Man these weeks have flown by.
Though, no word on any dates about gas chamber or bs. I guess they got their div flag picked out because my SR ordered me a shirt, but he didn't say what it looked like. -

Did the group get 5.0 on inspections or just your son? I'm glad they all got through it. I was worried about that. Glad they are starting to gel and have some fun. Just wish we had received a letter this week. Oh well, 2 weeks to PIR. Even though he leaves for Florida the next day, at least then I can talk to him or email him. That will be so much better than this not knowing what's happening.
