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 am sorry that some of the boys (men) seem to be so down. I have received 5 letters from my son ( some of them were in together) and he seems very upbeat. Of course it is possible that he is that way for moms sake. I have not had a phone call yet and am waiting the day. I hope it is this week.

Yeah, same with my SR, he's super stoked to be there. He acknowledges that it's hard, but he is glad to have the opportunity for growth.

Hi all! Its my first time replying but I've been reading your replies faithfully since my son left for BC on Aug 7. My son is in division 320 and doing well. Says his dogtags are "dope" and finds it surprising that he loves to shine his steel-toed boots :) He has written us 2 times which is great but he isn't recieving our letters :(

Hey JenniE! My son Preston is also in 320. I've gotten 1 letter but no call yet. I've mailed tons of letters and I'm sure hoping he has gotten some or all of them by now. It kills me to think about them not getting any encouragement from home....especially in the first couple of weeks when they need it the most.

Hi! My son's name is Alex. And I'm hoping he has received our letters by now. It pains me that he thinks we haven't written.
Nice to meet you Proudmama! -

If you look at the top of the page to the right there is a "window" with you name at the top "inbox", "alerts", and "friends". Next to friends there should be a "friend request".
