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."

Got my letter and a phone call today, came in about 1:30 PST, it was good to hear his voice. Now I am a crying fool, thank goodness my golden retriever does not mind my tears, he is sitting beside me and every once in a while he will lick my face. Funny how pet's know. Hope y'all get your letters and calls soon.

My sister just texted me and said she got a call! Argh! No missed calls on my cell, so I'm guessing he tried to call home and our answering machine is broken :( Now I'm trying to text her and call her back and she hasn't answered. I know she's overseas right now (she's a flight attendant) so can't get all her calls, but I want to know how he sounded like and what he said. Sad and frustrated.

I got 2 calls today!!! My son sounded good, considering I have received 3 letters from him and all he could say was get me out of here. But, after he got flooded with letters from the family saying how proud we all are of him, the 4th letter was pretty good. He said he is sick right now and they put him on medication. He can only march and not PT. But, he sounded really good and by the end of the conversation he was crying. So hard, but yet that is what we both needed. Can't wait to see him at PIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! my boyfriend is in ship 13 div. 311. He called me on wednesday Aug. 22nd. It was an 11 minute phone call. He said he hadn't slept in 18 hours and was tired. I'm guessing maybe they had to earn their phone call or he called someone else. Dont worry. :) You will get your call.

Hi! My nephew is on Ship 13 Div 311 and I haven't received any letters, yet (understandably)! For those who are receiving letters, can you let me live vicariously through you and will you please let me know any news about how they are all doing? (Are they starting to work together as a team? Are they getting along? Are they still having trouble and being punished?) Thanks!
