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."

Great news!!!!!!!
Our form letter came today!
Is such a big relief to have something now.
My son is in ship 3 div 115 instead of this division as I had thought. But we all still moms and loved ones of a sailor and I can't wait to meet you all at graduation. -

I am so glad that you got your form letter!! Now you can relax a little and write him a lot of letters. That's right we are all moms of a sailor and are here for each other. I look forward to seeing you at graduation as well.

Hi. I received my son's box and form letter. We are all so excited and already planning our trip to Great Lakes! We are probably going to get our plane tickets this week. I have mailed my son the letters I wrote and I know his fiancee sent about a million more! I can't wait to get an actual letter from him!

I come home to a voicemail from my SR needing more info for his security clearance and telling where to fax it. I get a call and I'm at work :-(
Well at least he sounded real good and I can play it just to hear his voice. -

Hi Ladies;
I wanted to join this group because I know one of the recruits there. I have a sailor stationed in Bahrain. Her PIR date was October 08, 2011. Proudest moment of my life watching her graduate and I encourage eacha nd everyone of you to go to Chicago the day your sailor's PIR! My daughter was ship 3 Div 333, and had 966 sailors in her group. Any way I am here for support if any of you have questions about letters, communication or just need to bend someones ear. I met some wonderful people on this site and you all will too.
God bless you all and your recruits.
Mary
