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."

When my daughter was in bootcamp we didn't get a call until she was in 3 weeks. The first week did not count because recruits came in every day the first week. So bootcamp didn't start until August 22nd for our men/women. So this is just the second week. I didn't receive my first letter until after that call. I didn't receive many calls from my daughter. She said it was because her division liked to talk. They penalize the whole group for 1 person.They want to break them down then rebuild them. But don't worry my daughter came out the same as she went in. It may have changed since March though. I few things have, so my daughter says. They get to use camelbacks instead of canteens and girls don't have to cut their hair. Hope this helped everyone.

My Mom just called me to tell me she got a letter from our son. She was one very excited Grandma. I sure hope that when I get home from work there is a letter in there for Mom & Dad. We live in Columbus, Ohio. I was thinking it might be today because our form letter got to us 3 days after the postmark on the envelope. It had been my understanding that they usually got to write on Sunday's. He told her he didn't have as much time to write as he thought he would.
