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."

Anyone? My son left on the 24th. We got his box and form letter yesterday. He said it's pretty good so far, but he's tired and they can't really talk to each other yet.

I got a letter today. He says it's really hard. The div gets lots of IT. He is getting to know lots of the guys. Its a start.
My son said he likes the guys too. He's just REALLY tired.
That is so good to hear!
I read that too. That is great news! Some of them got to make phone calls yesterday too.

Me too, mail must be off a day because of holiday.
I'm supposed to go to NYC today, before mailman comes, for 3 days. So I may not get a letter until Sunday night. If I wait for mailman, I'll risk hitting NYC rush hour traffic. Tough choice, but I think I already know I'm going to wait. Worth 2 extra hours in the car, to read it over and over.....
Got 2 letters. He sounds so much better. Says the group is working together much better now and it's getting more interesting.
Got 2 letters today also! Mine were not as happy & cheery, but he had some paperwork issues and is frustrated with his own personal mistakes (he is a bit of a perfection). Hope others get letters today!
Congrats!!! I got a call too and boy did it make my day!!!. Apparently only 15 out of the 70 did.
I got a call today too and he sounded great. I was so excited when I saw 847 area code show up on caller id because I was hoping but not expecting a call.
