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."

Oh man! I just drove to our mailhouse to see if I got a letter, but mail person just got there. I totally forgot its Saturday so they start later. Ugh I'm so anxious! I'll wait an hour and try again...I'm in a gated community so we don't have mailboxes at our homes, have to drive 2.5 miles to the mailhouse....such a pain in the neck! But I'll be one happy mom when I see a letter from my boy! Talk to you ladies soon! Everyone have a GREAT day!

Hi everyone, I got my first letter today! He sounded good. He said it was the same thing everyday but he seemed positive. He said he has met some nice people. We used to live in PA but moved to TX about 3 1/2 years ago. He said he definately is not liking the cold. We are going to drive up, still looking at which hotels to book. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, mine is much better now that I know he is doing good! For those of you who have not heard from your sailor, mine said it took him 3 days to write the short note that we got today. He said they don't have much time. I also didn't get the "I'm here call" so this is the first I have heard from him. He said some of them did not get time to make the call.

I hawking....no letter for me either but two of his friends have received them. Ugh I'm so annoyed and my husbands trying to tell me that something's wrong with the mail. My sons not even close with these two girls that he wrote to so I'm just confused! Don't know if I should be mad, hurt, or just let it go....one part of me thinks my husbands correct but I don't know. My son and I are very close and he has to know how much I miss him as I've written to him every single day since he left on November 12th! I think to myself....I'm sure these girls haven't lost sleep over him and I'm sure they don't write him every day but that doesn't make my letter come any quicker. I'll let ya know when I get mine. I'm checking the post mark on mine compared to there's! Hahahahaha
