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."

Ha! That was probably me. My son left Aug. 2nd and called today from medical about allergies to penacillin. VERY short call. 55 seconds according to my cell phone. So far, no box has arrived here but he may have sent it to his dad's house. But that form letter better come to me!!! LOL!! There is a link that tells what all they are doing on the different days. Have you found that one? There are actually a couple of them, but I don't like the About dot com one as well as the other one. I'll go look and see if I can find it. I have it bookmarked on my iPad. I'm sorry you are struggling today. I have been crying since day 3 - took a bit to really hit me, I guess. I wonder how much more I can cry? Surely we will all adjust to this soon. I agree, though. It's really, really tough!

Do you have a graduation date yet? I saw someone else say that their SR left 8/2 and has a grad date of 9/28. I had figured it would be 10/5. My son's recruiting office is closed all week so I have not been able to get his ship/div numbers or anything yet. He's going to be that poor kid with no letters when everyone else starts getting mail! :(

I feel like this week has just been dragging as week 1 so far. Anyday i should get his letter, and its been raining everyday since he left. I have been rushing to the mailbox everyday now. I love that hes doing this for our family but theres some stuff i wish i thought of before he left. The cell phone should have stayed with him. I wish he had been there today for our sons 2nd b-day! I know there will be years he will miss birthdays though.
