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."

Thank you so much for the encouraging words, it's great to hear from other moms who are experiencing some of the same things I am. One of the hardest things for me is not being able to talk to them everyday. It's difficult not knowing how they are doing.

My son left Aug 27 as well. We are anxiously awaiting his letter. His petty officer sent us his address yesterday. Based on info on this site not sure if is completely reliable tho. I miss being able to talk to him about his day. Trusting he is doing well, making some great friends, and adjusting to his new routine without too much worry.

Thank you for the reply, it's so great to hear form other moms who are going through some of the same things I am. How did you establish contact with the petty officer? I'm not sure how to do that.

The Petty Officer she referred to is her SR's recruiter. You may be able to get the info from the recruiter, but it is best to wait on the form letter before sending anything to your recruits.

MY daughter left 27th as well.......it was certainly great of the PO to get you their address, I am waiting on the box which hopefully is in my office chair tomorrow when I go back to work and my form letter. A few days I did ok, but yesterday I was really missing her............although I know I won't hear from her for 3 weeks I still have my phone glued to my hand. If you are not on navyformoms facebook, you should join we all stay on there going back and forth anytime something happens. Good way to stay in touch fast.

My dauhghter left a year ago on August 29th. The first few weeks are definitely the hardest. But you'll be soooo happy and proud when you finally start getting letters and phone calls. Lift them all up in prayer as it is hard for them too, but they'll find that it will definitely be worth it. Will keep you all in my prayers, I know it's hard!!!
