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.

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 have received one letter and it wasn't a happy one. Maybe soon I'll get another letter and a phone call.

Good to hear that.. Gives me some encouragement... I have been taking my phone with me everywhere too. Gave strict instructions that if he were to call me at work, it would be considered an emergency and to interrupt whatever I am doing:) I hope it's SOON..

I also got a phone call from my husband and it was amazing! (: We got to talk for 35 minutes and it was the best thing ever! He sounded very good as well and it sounds like Ship 12 DIV 050 is the best divison there because my husband said they have the highest test scores! I am so proud of all of them!

oh am so happy for those that got phone calls. I didn't get one. Maybe because of wisdom teeth being pulled. i will hope for one tomorrow. so glad our division is doing good. I was on a plane half of friday - but didn't see a missed call.
Anyone else get a call ...or not get a call?

To Happy&Sadmom, Yes I got a phone call on Thursday (December 15) at 4:20 Mountain Time. Son said he was doing really well and division was coming together. My son had his wisdom teeth pulled on Monday and said he was doing better than he expected. I received two letters on Friday and those were the first I had received from him other than the form letter. I hope you get a phone call really,really soon.
