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."

Hi, I'm new to the site. My son is in Division 344. We received a phone call from him on Thursday because he couldn't call Saturday due to having his wisdom teeth removed on Friday. He said it would be his last call until the week of graduation. I can't wait to see him at PIR!

Are you serious? That's funny. My son's 3rd call was late and on Wednesday because he was unable to call the weekend --wisdom tooth.
I'm right with you -- cannot wait to see the young man that my boy has grown into.

Oops, actually his was on Wednesday too! Me too, his letters have such a grown up serious tone to them. It's bittersweet.

I guess we all are missing our SRs even more these past few days. First weekend in 3 weeks without phone calls. I am sure we all had our phones nearby, just in case.... Now it's only the weekly mail to keep us connected, bless the postal service, they will be greatly appreciated in the weeks to come! Tomorrow we hit the 30 day count down, I am excited but I do miss my SR and look forward PIR and the huge bear hug afterward!! Hope you all are having a great night, looking forward to seeing you all in 30 days!!

Yes...really missing my SR these past couple days. I'm ready for the 30 days to fly by. My SR isn't much of a writer but I do love his humorous two paragraph letters. I don't think I could make it without them. I'm also looking forward to meet my new Navymom family too!
