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 also have a son, Matt, in Ship 3 Div 187. We are from Kansas City, Missouri (yes, the home of the Royals). My son will head to Monterrey, California for "A" school. Hoping that maybe a letter might show up this week from him.

Just received a call from my son. He needed some additional information for his security clearance. We didn't get a chance to chat but it was good to hear his voice. He did mention that he has received mail from us already, but he hasn't been able to send any mail. I don't know if that was just him personally or the whole division, but I guess I'll stop checking my mailbox for a few days.
