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 another letter from my son yesterday. He still says everything is going well and is still very upbeat. There are the occasional "bullshit" stuff he complains about but nothing major. He is very worried about a friend of his though. Apparently someone made a comment about queers and it offended someone so now his friend might get asmoed (I had to look that one up - apparently it's when someone gets sent back a week in bc). Anyway he's really praying and hoping his friend gets to continue with the rest of them. Hope you all are doing well and your recruits even better. Crystal, I've been watching your comments on FB (thanks to Leilla for getting me on there) so I hope and pray everything goes well.

Hello everyone,I'm Yvette I have been checking in on this site for a while, but I'm not usually able to post because I'm working but I must say, I've been so lucky to have found this site. My son Chris is on ship 03 divison 027 his PIR date is December 29th, I would have been so stessed out, but every question I've had, I've found the answer here. Thanks Ladies for your support.

Welcome Yvette. Hope everything has been going well for your son. We're getting close to PIR. Can't wait for Christmas to get over so we can all head to Great Lakes! Seeing my son graduate will be the best present ever.
