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."

We received our form letter yesterday with a short note from my son. We are from East Texas and we are so looking forward to seeing our sailor graduate on Feb. 3rd. He will go to nuclear school in Charleston,SC. So happy to have other moms to visit with during this difficult time.

I sure hope Feb. 3rd does not change. We bought our tickets because the fares were under 300 round trip for 4 of us. otherwise we cold not afford to go as as family. Barely squeezed enough or the tickets and are non-refundable.

Same here. this is a blessing for us to share our journey. My son said the letters are wonderful but wanted more news about home not bootcamp questions. LOL Unfortunately not all the SR's are getting letters. He said he would try somehow to seek them out and ask if he can have letters sent to them. If they are too numerous for just me, anyone want to pitch in and help? Not sure if we can even make it happen I just cannot imagine not getting mail. Anyway just a thought.
