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."

Hey...my son is ship 3 div 194 also! I have not gotten a letter from him but I got the form letter and the box on Monday. I am getting a little discouraged from hearing all the others that received letters! I hope they are all doing ok. This has been extremely hard on me but I am counting down the Fridays! I look forward to chatting with you more and meeting you at PIR! If you hear anything, please let me know and I'll do the same!

Hi TylersMom. It has been very hard on me too. Still no call or letter, but am hoping for one this coming week. Just praying they (03/194's) are doing well and will be able to call soon. My son is going to sub school/bootcamp right after PIR. Do you know what your son is going to do after BC? I can hardly wait for May 17th. Every day I send a letter and hope this helps him stay focused and less homesick. Didn't expect to be so close to tears all the time, it's reassuring to know other Moms feel the same. Guess we need to be as brave as our kids are. I will let you know if I hear anything!

Hi Submom! My son will be going to school in Texas for CE (construction electrician). He will be part of the Fighting Seabees! I am counting down the Fridays...only 6 more! I practically meet the mailman outside everyday hoping for a letter and my phone is always with me...even in the bathroom!! I will let you know if I hear anything also. Hopefully we can meet at PIR. What is your son's last name? I would love to tell Tyler I have met you online and that we've been talking! Who knows, they may be best buds!
