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 did receive a letter today as well. My kid said things are going great. He was happy to pass the swim and pt test. He has not received any of our letters and that was disappointing, knowing that A LOT must be waiting for him to read...some where.

I got my letter today!:) I'm so glad we are starting to receive letters. I hope yours will be in the mail tomorrow, Bearsmom!! Mine was short too, he had to write his sweet love;) so didn't have as long to write:) He said he is very sore all over and has shin splints (this is because he didn't listen to mom and dad who was on him for ever about getting ready and working out before he left!;). Surprisingly, he said it was cold but they bundle them up pretty good and no worries :). He was a little aggravated that he failed the test by 10 seconds on his running:/ He said they have to take a community shower! YIKES! He said 75 guys have 20 minutes to shower! He wasn't too thrilled about having to get 4 shots tho! He said all in all it was good there:) He sounded really good:) i was so worried when I had heard some had quit, I didn't want him to get discouraged and quit!! Was such a relief to get his letter and him say it was good. He said it was pretty challenging and he missed us all but he knew it would get better. :) He asked about how his 'baby' was lol, he was talking about his truck because his sister has been driving it since he's been gone! Wanted to make sure she hadn't hurt it! lol

:( I am sorry Bearsmom! I know it is agony just waiting. It is coming, keep hanging in there. Keep saying, no news is good news, no news is good news! :) I have been so stressed out since I got the phone call that I can't stand it almost! It was so wonderful to get to talk to him but I almost would rather the no news is good news better! I am hoping and praying all will work out ok! Looking forward to seeing you say, "I GOT MY LETTER!" :)
