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 Traci, My son is also in div 359 and I got a call on Sat. It was 5 min 40 sec so short but I got to hear his voice and another voice in the back ground yelling to get off the phone! He sounded strong and that settled me down a bit. Hope you are doing well.

Hi Matt's Mom-
I got letters also today and they are heart warming to say the least. I am so glad you heard from your son. I read mine over and over again. Even though I had already written this morning, I wrote to him again tonight. We're getting closer to PIR:) I hope they get another phone call soon. Blessings to you and your family.

Hi Sandy,
Same here, I am in the middle of writing a letter now. I was so glad he included letters to his sisters as well.
I so hope they are allowed to call home again soon.

Hi Tammy-
My son, Dylan, is also Ship 12 and Div 359. I received my letters too. Isn't it awesome to get some contact from them? I hope that we can all meet at PIR on the 20th. I look forward to meeting all of you and send my best wishes to you and your family.

Hi Tammy and Sandy, I got letters today too! I was so excited to see a little bit of him. He gave me a typical days routine and not much more but to keep sending letters. He even asked his 6 year old twins sisters to keep sending him letters. AWWWWW! I hope he drops names of his buddies the next time he can call so I can ask! Sending prayers to our boys and girls at BC and to their families.
