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."

Sabp26- I got a not so great letter also, however he wrote funny letters to his Uncle and a friend... I think it's because "I'm mom" and he could complain to me :(
Maybe the next letter I can have some funny haha -

My son is ship 9 Div 001/002. I haven't gotten a letter at all. :( he did say to me before he left "mom, you know I don't like to write letters"
So I say to him, "well son, you know I need to know you're doing ok."
He is a shy kid. I'm anxious to know if he made any buddies. -

Pamom~ my SR said they were all pretty cool guys from all walks of life. He didn't mention anyone specifically.. Maybe they are together? My son said if he was given the choice between sleep and writing, he would choose sleep, haha
I don't blame him, they will have more time later and next Sunday :) Hang in there!!!

Well.... his girlfriend and his grandparents got one, but none for Mom & Dad :( He said in the letter that they were getting a lot of IT because some members of their division are pretty talkative. He said it's hard, but he already feels like he's getting stronger (this was dated on his 1-3 day). Hopefully things have improved by now!

Mine did not say anything about that. He just said that if they screw up they get yelled at a lot. Like you said hopefully things are getting better now.
