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."

I've sent letters daily since 8/22 but nothing back yet, except for the form letter. Has anyone received a real letter yet?

When I got the form letter, my son wrote "Love you, miss you. I'll be able to write a real letter in about a week." That's it, by the way-four lines and he sends me one. I love that kid! Anyway, if it takes 10 days for them to get our letters, it could take that long for them to get ours, I guess. I'm still sending mine daily!

My husband just called to say we got a real letter today! (He works out of our house.) He read me part of it over the phone and my daughter sounded fine. Her letter was dated August 26.

My son left 8/17 and I just got a real letter from him today. He wrote the letter on his 11th day there, so i'm guessing he wrote it sunday. He said it feels like he's been gone a year already, that makes my heart hurt :(
He also said the food was good,but he misses my cooking !!! He's really looking forward to graduating 10/14, so hopefully he'll stay strong and get through it.
Stay strong ladies we can do this... I think !!!!
