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 called his recruited who put me in touch with public affairs. My son also had an existing acct. But, the guy I talked to said that their first checks would be used to pay for uniforms. SO, guess we shouldn't expect one until the 15th. Hope we get a letter or phone call this week!!

I have to share this with you guys....knowing that you will appreciate it :-) The day that my son's BOX arrived, I was outside and walked up when the FedEx guy was at my door. All I saw was COOPER in large letters on the side of the box...and I got so excited and started crying and said "that's mine". I thought I had scared the FedEx guy to death...but he knew what it was and was very sweet and told me that he was in good hands and that he will be ok. It's amazing how a box of clothes can excite you so much!!! I know you all know exactly how I feel.

Hi, my son is in Ship 12, Div 371. Hospital Corpsman. Going to San Antonio for A School. Really looking forward to a phone call or something. Getting so anxious. We do know an RDC there and she did get to talk to him and he told her to "tell mom I'm fine, (roll the eyes), lol. Still can't wait.

My son, Nick is in the same and will be going to San Antonio also. I am having a really hard time today with not hearing from him. I just feel an uneasiness today for some reason. I hope that everything is ok, as I have not had this feeling at all since he has been gone. I sure hope he is getting my letters and that I hear from him soon.

I got a LETTER!!! Says they were held back waiting on the div to fill up but, that now they will get to write every sunday. However, he hasn't received any letters I have written. I read somewhere that they didn't get their mail until Tuesday. Says it is very hard and getting harder each day. But that he is still alive and safe.
