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."

Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Apparently bf got to call his dad yesterday for more security clearance questions. He called me a week ago. Unfortunately he knew I wouldnt be able to answer his question yesterday so he couldn't call me. I was having a really hard day yesterday and now I'm feeling kind of crappy again! Glad to know all is well but I could have really used hearing his voice yesterday! Oh well the important thing is he is good and well.

Hang in there Jennifer, they are there and safe and now we can look forward to seeing them again. I was feeling crappy yesterday and did some retail therapy (aka: shopping). Woke up to a bright new day knowing I am one day closer to seeing him again. That is where I need to keep my mind, one day at a time means one day closer. You can make it, you are strong.

I want to take a shopping trip pretty soon. It will definitely be therapeutic =) I'm feeling better now. I'm glad to know he's well and healthy. I look forward to next week to getting a letter. Thankfully it's almost the weekend. It'll be nice to have a stress free weekend to relax, and think happy thoughts of my SR =)
Thank you for your kind words!!

I received my fiance's form letter yesterday, so I was able to mail him a few of the letters that I've already sent. I am going to stagger mailing them out so that he doesn't receive 10 letters in one day. I was going crazy not knowing anything. Now that I have a date and an address, I already feel a little better.

It definitely helps being able to actually -send- the letters! Yay for you! He will appreciate those letters! =)

Happy Saturday everyone. Hope you are all having a wonderful day. I've had a crappy start, but hopeful it'll get better! =) Someone on the FB group posted that their son called yesterday from div 022, ship 04. They informed her that they had their first PT and Uniform check, and also that at least in their division/ship that even though they get to write on Sunday's, their letters may not go out for 5 days after that day! So hang in there everyone..

Hello. My son is also in Ship 13 Division 027. I look forward to meeting all of you. We live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We will be driving up for PIR. We are staying at the Navy Lodge 1 mile from base. We booked weeks ago! I miss my son terribly, it's hard going this long without seeing or talking to him.

I received a letter today from bf!! (DIV 027). He said they are doing well, the division hasn't really gotten it together completely yet, but they are working on it. They received mail this past Saturday, and now they will get it every day (unless the division does something wrong), but only be able to write on Sunday's. They are at Week 2 Day 1 as of TODAY. They were on hold for 1 week before they did their processing days, then went to week 1 now week 2. Remember, weekends don't count as days.
