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."

Becky, thank you for the reply. I received the box yesterday. Now, waiting on a letter. The waiting is harder than I thought it would be.

We haven't received "the box" yet. Our 10 year old intercepted the 15 second phone call home so I missed speaking to my son.:( Hoping the official letter will come soon.

Becky, I finally received my form letter today. His PIR date is Oct. 19. I hope you have received yours also.

We received the box today but no letter yet. I'm hoping it will show up in the next few days.

Hello Becky, just wondering if you ever received your form letter?
-
-
Yep, got it yesterday! Today I'm asking friends/family to send Trent letters of encouragement to keep him going. My 10 yr old and myself wrote letters last night in hopes that he will receive them next weekend. It's also a great way for our 10 yr old to practice his writing. ;)

Forgot to mention his PIR date is Oct. 26th and his ship number is 12/Div. 347.
