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 got a call today - three!! - and I MISSED HIM because I was in a f*cking gym class! PLEASE if any of you talk to your sons, if they know a guy who used all his phone cards and got no one THAT COULD BE MY SON. PLEASE ask them to tell him I love him and I'm proud of him and I AM SO SORRY. I will NEVER let my phone leave my sight again till PIR. PLEASE pray they get another call. I'm sending more cards in tomorrow's mail and will pay back any phone cards loaned to him. I'm crying so hard I can't see my phone. Thank you for ANY help you can give.

My son is on sip 9 div 284. I got to talk to him finaly yesterday, he sounded so good. I tried so hard not to cry while we talked.
He told me about all that he is learning and that he had struggled a little at first with all the new reg. He said the food is good and eats like a king. He was a little concerned that he had not rec'vd any letters but now that i have the address im going to send 1 or 2 a day. I booked my flight yesterday for graduation day along with a rental car but still have to get a hotel room.
I am so thankful for all the information on this site. I am kinda new at this so it has taken a bit for me to figure out.
