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."

Thanks for this info. I was praying for a letter today but did not get one. It is good to know they did get to write and we should be getting one soon. Glad you got to talk to your son.

Just a note about Ship 11 Div 032, my son, Alec. He had to call last nite re: some info he needed for payroll. I only got to speak to him for abt 3 minutes, because I didn't want him to get in trouble. He asked me to pray for him. He said it is getting tough now (vs. last week when I spoke with him). He did mention that the mail had just arrived and they were going to hand it out soon. So our SR's should have received at least some mail from their loved ones and friends. (Hopefully, he got the info he needed for payroll).
I just wanted to share with the Mom's, Dad's and other loved ones in these divisions abt the mail and the short phone call abt week 2.
Thanks ladies and gents...We need to keep each other posted. :D

Happy for you! I know how much hearing from them means to us. I was hoping to get something today but did not. Maybe tomorrow I will get a letter from my daughter. I miss her so much. Did your daughter mention any SR friends? My daughters name is Ashley.

Still no letters from my daughter and she is in the same division with your daughter. I am getting worried something is wrong and trying not to panic and remember that no news is suppose to be good news. Did you daughter mention there were any problems?

Yay!!! I am so happy for you and your family..8 ltrs. Wow! That is Super-Wonderful!! Congratulations!
P.S. I have a dear friend that is retired from our Navy. He was the one that trained the men/women that are training our boys/girls/husbands/wives/fiance'/loved ones....He is an honest, trustworthy dependable man and gave me some great words to live by. So we all should feel confident that our loved ones will come home a better person. If any of you want further info, feel free to mssg me. I am on FB Audra Edwards~ my sons last name is not the same as mine (for safety reasons).
Keep sharing..Let us know (if you can) how things are going there, when you get a chance to read your stack of letters. :D
