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!!! My son left on 9/10. Just on the 16th I received his box and the form letter came a day or two later. It was postmarked the 13th but they say that it can take 5-10 days for mail to arrive. I would love to make some new friends with this in common!! My son is Ship 13 Division 422. Where do you live? I am in Upstate NY. Christine

I received a call on Saturday. It's the longest week and half I've waited. He sounded great! I miss him dearly still but I'm more at ease having heard from him. Not hearing from him when he first got there was awful but the flood of relief feels so good now. I'm still waiting on the form letter

Omg I am so upset! I mean I am happy for you that you got your call on Saturday but my son went in on 9/12 and I haven't got a call or a letter yet! Like you, I didn't get a call when he arrived either. I just want to cry! I need to know he is doing ok! So sad. I haven't received the form letter either.
