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."

Just got a call from my son (ship 3 div 328). SO GREAT to hear his voice! He's hanging in there! Said he's wiped out and it's tough. Said weeks go fast but days are long. Definitely looks forward to mail/pics from home too!

I just got a call from my son! He's ship 3 division 327. He kept it short saying not all the phones were operational. And he also had already called his dad. He sounded good and says they are eating really well and were in processing for ten days, also that are just starting regular pt although they did have a day of intense exercise because someone in 328 yawned during briefing. also that he failed his first prt, but I'm sure he will be fine, he's made huge progress over the past 7 months of dep. Keep your phones handy today!

I got a call yesterday too! It was so good to hear his voice- I started crying as soon as my daughter picked up the phone and I heard her say "Alex?????"
He had been trying to call my phone and for some reason it was not connecting when I picked it up.... I was getting frustrated and worried I would miss his call! But he could hear me even though I could not hear him and he heard me give him his sisters phone number... I am so glad he got through on her line.
He seems tired and he says it got very real and his heart dropped when they handed him his dog tags and uniform, but he is okay. He says it is hard, and it "sucks" but it is supposed to..its basic training... I had to laugh when he said that. He seems okay with it.
The best news is that- my son has had Alopecia areata since he was in third grade, it is total hair loss caused by a gene or auto-immune reaction... and since he has been at great lakes, his hair has begun to grow back very thick and lush. It is like a miracle. It is making him very happy. He says he is making lots of friends and is settling in even though it is very hard and he is very tired every day. Made me feel very good to talk to him.

I got a call from my son. Ship 03, Div 328. He sounded more upbeat that I expected, said he missed us, but was too busy to actually be homesick. He said he should be able to write tomorrow.

Hi my son is also on that ship, 03 327/328. I have received the box of clothes, all of them inside out, lol, and the cell phone he was sure he could keep.no real letter just a form one about graduation and such. No phone call either, on arrival he called the girlfriend, that was okay but I would really like to hear his voice.
