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."

Alright, by the sounds of it our SR's are needing our support so I propose we all make a special effort to send very positive and encouraging letters this week. Try to include something funny to lift their spirits. I personally know my son is fond of the cartoon strip Calvin and Hobbs so I am going to send him a few of those.
And I made a list of his friends that will be heading to college soon. This weekend I am taking a bunch of blank paper and a big marker around for them to make a personal sign. Then I will take pictures of them holding their sign. I was going to ask them to write too, but I know teenagers text, they don't write letters. I figured the signs would be close to sending a text.
Any other ideas? These young men and women need to know we know they are tough as steel and we are so very proud of them.
Have a great week and happy letter writing!

Have not received a call from my SR in a couple of weeks. I know that say that no news is good news but going crazy here. She is ship 14 div 335 and I am wondering if this is the norm right now or if this is unusual. :( Just ready for PIR so I can hug her!

Flo'sMom: Very normal. Some divisions get to call more than others. My son happened to be in two different ones since he was asmoed (setback) for a week when there. The first division allowed him a good number of calls (was in it for about 4-5 weeks), but the second division that he went into to finish training (different PIR group) allowed very few calls. So it just depends on the RDCs in a division. No News is Good News in the Navy...usually!
