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."

My son is KEVIN MONTON, ship 11, div 057. He's 18 and we finally got a letter from him today. no call yet. Kevin said he's made lots of friends and a few will continue on to A school at Great Lakes with him. Kevin is studying Advanced Electronics and Computers. This site is great for us to connect. So nice to hear what other families are hearing. Joan Monton (Ridgewood, NJ)

No phone calls from my son yet. Alex Ship 11 Div 058. Thought for sure today would be the day I could hear his voice. He sent letters saying he passed his swim test and his PFA test. I think I got that right....it's his physical assessment test and he had his wisdon teeth out. I'm sure he is miserable, he also said he had a cold. My Sailor son Adam said that is normal and they have a name for it, it is called the Ricky Crud. Sounds inviting doesn't it? Ok...hope that everyone starts receiving calls soon.

Reading this makes me so sad. My son Kevin also in Ship 11, div 057. OMG I'm praying they're not sick! Please let me know if you get a call. I will do the same. This not hearing from them is terrible.

Alex called too! Ship 11 Div 058 He sounded great, said they are behind in training but that should not affect his grad date. My son in San Diego said he doesn't think it is anything to be concerned with. It is most likely because of the holdidays.So wouldn't you know I was shopping had only planned on being out for an hour. So I stood in the middle of the store crying! Hope everyone got there call as well
