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."

The only thing I have gotten was the form letter but I've been stalking my postman since the day my son left and my cellphone is always with me even if I step outside the front door.

I'm not sure what my travel plans are just yet, but it makes sense to get to GL a day early. Were traveling from Cincinnati, Ohio which is about 5 hours away. Our plan is to drive up and yes I will do my best to attend the meet and greet. Looking forward to meeting all you wonderful moms.

Hi My son is also Ship13Div12, I have received one letter so far from him! I cant wait to hear his voice and see him

Me too I want to hear the voice to ensure things are ok, even if they aren't. That would pacify me until I see him in about 5 1/2 weeks.

I got a letter from my SR today. I was so happy just to see his writing. It was very emotional and hard to read it without crying.

Happy ! Happy ! Happy!!!!!
I received a letter from my SR today. I was overjoyed. He even sounds positive and sounds like he loves it. (Is that strange?) He misses his dogs and his GF and has already made the request to bring him his cell phone for graduation. Any other out there that receive a letter from this division?

My letter was actually postmarked October 4th. I am wondering if they allowed our SR's to write to their families early since the form letters had the incorrect PIR date on them. Whatever the reason, it was nice to get the note. I hope you receive one as well soon.
Enjoy your day.

Late response I know..I did get a letter last Thursday from my son. He seemed to be doing very well. Now I want another letter and a phone call. Lol! Yes it was nice to get a letter. There is life out there :)

My letter was also dated on the 4th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get another letter this week.
