OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Hi
My son is Ship 03 Div 271. Can't wait until July to see my son. So proud of him but so hard to have such limited communication. Got phone call Saturday and letters today.

Lucky you. My son says before he left, not to expect letters because he is not much of a writer. He is not a big talker either, lol. It is killing me not to pick up my cell phone and text him. Can't wait for his next call. He is in Div 272.

My fiance is in division 272. He seems to be doing well. When I spoke to him last weekend, he said the whole division was doing well. I am so glad he is making lots of friends. Cannot wait to his him at PIR! I'll be smiling from ear to ear.

My son is ship 3 div 272. I haven't heard from him since the 18th. I'm getting a little anxious. I hope he sent a letter this week. I really hope they get to call soon. Yes, to one month from today!

Keep the faith. I was on the edge of despair when my grandson's girlfriend got a letter today. He told her that he slept through letter writing time last week! We are on the downhill now!

Yes, I got a letter today. I am so relieved, he sounded so good and upbeat. Said he didn't write last week because the holiday schedule was cut short. He says next week is "hell week" (which I think starts today or tomorrow) and said once they get through that it is "smooth sailing". It is getting so close, to get to hug him.
