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 just got on this sight.  It is really good to read posts from other parents in this same division.  I have received two letters and a phone call (other than the form letter and call that he made when they arrived).  One seemed up beat and the other was a little down.  He has passed everything so far and did not mention the wisdom teeth stuff.  I guess because he doesn't have any.  However I think he is a little homesick.  He just turned 18 at the end of May.  He did mention he was the youngest in his group other than his bunkmate who got sent home a few days earlier.

Welcome to the site! Its a great help for support and information. Ask questions, I'm sure you will find your answer here. What division is your son in? Its normal for him to be homesick. He'll be fine though! Have a great day!
My son is Ship 07 Div 346.  I hope I joined the right group.  I haven't recieved my letter this week but my dad did and he mentioned my son said he was sick.  I hope that doesn't set him back.  There is so much informaiton on here I feel lost looking through it all.
Welcome proudtexasmom93......ask any questions you may have...if we don't know the answer we can find someone who does.  Being sick shouldn't really set him back depending how sick he is, they do take really good care of them when the are ill.  I haven't received my letter this week either, but my ex did and he read his to me.  Just write to him all kinds of engouraging words! Have a good day.
He said in the letter that I got he had flu like sympton and missed one day and was on light duty the next.
