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."

I am walking on clouds right now... I got a call from my son and he sounded really good! We got to talk for about 15 minutes (he said he got 30 min. but wanted to call his dad too who was out on the golf course, haha) Dad got to talk to him too! yeah! Said the RDC was pretty tough but he was doing good and the food was great (not getting much sleep though)! He said that he had blisters but was using mole skin and dr. gave them medicine to put on them. His voice sounded good and he sounded good! I told him we think about him everyday and pray for him everyday and to keep his head down and nose to the grind stone and just keep pushing through and it would all be over before he knew it and how proud he will be at PIR when he is standing there in his uniform as a Sailor! OMG! I can't wait! Just hearing his voice was such a comfort to me but honestly makes you miss them even more. If anyone else hears from their SR please share! Thanks! God is Good All the Time and All the Time God is Good!

My Daughter called this morning. I would like to suggest if we hear from our recruits to talk about teamwork and how important it is. She was very tired and barely knew what day it was. I don't think we will see mail from them at best late next week or after. Thanking god for the rain here this morning or my husband would not have been home. She said they are pretty tough on their division. Hope you all hear from yours soon.
