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."

Yes, I received a phone call from my son 03/298, he sounded good and it was great to hear his voice. Said they are doing well and being put to the test mentally and physically. Sounded upbeat and confident. Apologized for not writing but I told him to focus on what he needs to do there and we dont need letters, we know he is doing well and it was great to take to him. I told him about our groups and asked him if he knew a couple of the other recruits but said for me to sent him last names, they dont go by first names. I am really looking forward to PIR, seeing him and meeting all the other recruits and their parents. Take Care!

Yes, my son is in 03/297 too! We got a phone call on August 14th and we were able to talk for 20 minutes. He said he had about 30 minutes and wanted to call his brothers and girlfriend. It was a great call. Good to hear his voice and he was doing okay. Can't wait until September 14th!
