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."

Hi GeorgiaGirlfriend....where will your SR be going to A school? Pensacola would be great for you! This is a wonderful support and I don't know what I would do without it. When did your SR leave? Some in this division have recieved letters but my son was one of the last to get there so I think he was still in processing when the others were able to write. I am hoping they are receiving mail today and will be able to write some as well.
Are you going to PIR? I am counting down the days!

Good afternoon 11/131! By now our boys will have gotten their first mail call!!! Hopefully he isn't too overwhelmed with the several dozen letters his family sent him! Your recruits are probably the happiest they've been since they arrived.....If you all think about it, ask your recruit for the names of others that don't get mail, I would like to send an encouraging card for them. The navy will not deliver it without a specific name for security reasons.....

Wow, that's great to know! I was wondering when that would happen, thanks for the information. I told my man before he left to figure out who wasn't getting mail too, hopefully we can make it so all the boys get mail regularly. (:

The 26th sounds about right but have your phone in your pocket...I have my mine on vibrate and then I seem have to leave for a moment.It is suggest to send a phone call for they will be using a pay phone and it is not cheap...That call is earned so enjoy! I remember calling home for the first time and the lst phone call from Son#1. Yes, you are on cloud nine it is great to hear a voice from home...

Hey ladies,
I am so glad I found this group. Obviously not a mother, but my bf of 1.5 years is in this division too! We're both from Florida, and he was also in the group that left March 4th from Jax. I told his mother to join this group too, so hopefully she'll be able to participate too. My man is going to a school in San Antonio, will anyone else's SR be there?
