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."

Did you receive a letter yet from your daughter? I have not received any from my daughter and I am worried. I am sure she is OK and I am just being a mother.....

Just got 4 long long letters!! Cried reading all of them. He said he never speaks at all, unless told too, but he said that most of the guys in his division keep messing up and talking out of place, so they are getting into trouble.
Still no PIR information or graduation letter though. Hopefully a phone call soon! -

Happy for you. My mail box was empty again. Maybe tomorrow.

I got 3 letters from my SR today. They were so sweet. He said he should get to call soon, but not sure. He's homesick, but everything he is learning is pretty cool. Wants me to write a lot. Very bored on the weekends.

Glad to hear you had letters today. None for me. I just knew there would be one today but it did not happen. I hope my daughters group hasn't done something to loose privileges. Maybe tomorrow my cup will runneth over with MAIL. Read your letters again. I am sure it is comforting.

I know how you feel. I thought maybe my son had done something as well to lose his privileges. As soon as I saw the other Mom's were receiving letters, I knew it wouldn't be long. I have faith that your letter will be next in line. Keep us posted...Signed another Bama Mom...Audra

I got a letter today too! :-) Only one page but I will take it! He says BC is challenging but he honestly is starting to enjoy it. So good to hear from him. He's excited that we are coming up for graduation and asked for pictures of his daughter, since he was not aware he could have them. Such relief! Big glass of wine for me ladies :-)........
