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, paigesmom,
No, no call and no letter, thought maybe last Sunday would have counted as 2nd Sunday, and they would be able to write. But don't give up hope, I am sure it takes a few days, my form letter was postmarked 8/22 and got it 8/26. I am hoping this Sunday he can write or a phone call, but not getting my hopes up for phone call. I can't take the waiting anymore. My heart skips a beat when I think I don't have my phone on me.!!!!
I know I keep writing, it is raining here at the Jersey Shore, and I can't clean one more thing, 6 more days til I am back at work, actually looking forward to it!!!
I just saw Sarge posted 10/4/13 meet and greet, that means ours will be posted soon, WOW!!!! EXCITING!!!

Hi, all. Wondering if anyone has heard anything from their SR yet. I received "the box" the Friday after my son left, and got the form letter yesterday, but haven't gotten anything personal as of yet. His recruiter told me that he may call Saturday, but I didn't hear anything, unfortunately. I am anxiously awaiting, any news, but I really can't wait to hear his voice. I'm sure I'm not the only one!

That's is what a friend told me, I know he's okay, or I would have heard otherwise. I really just want to hear him say he's good! Love your screen name, by the way! We are from Upstate SC, what about you?

I feel like I was the absolute last mom in that whole blasted division that got the form letter. It just came today but I am going to have to agree with the other mom's. The only ones from our SR's divisions that are getting phone calls seem to be the kids having problems or needing information. I'm almost scared to get a call from 847. Hang in there. If we don't get a phone call it means they aren't in medical and they are getting through everything okay :)
