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."

My son is Ship 09 Division 057. So far I received one phone call and one letter. He said the guys and girls are great, the food is good, and they have warm clothing. So happy and proud, but miss him so much.

My daughter is also Ship 09 and Division 057. She sounded great when she called. She said the food was not bad, but she is trying to stay away from the cookies; apparently they are good.

He called last Saturday afternoon (the 23) and I got a letter yesterday. The letter was short; he said they didn't have a lot of time to write and he was really tired. He said everyone was getting along; lots of hard work, but very satisfying. He said they don't know when the calls will come; they're CO just tells different recruits to go to the phones.

My daughter is Ship 09, Div 57. Just got a call about 15 minutes ago, and a tough one at that. She is struggling, as opposed to her very upbeat call last Saturday. I am not home, but will be tomorrow, so not sure if I have any letters waiting. Just wanted everyone to know you may get a call or may have already gotten one today. :)

IMy son is also Ship 9 Div 57. They say to get to know the other mom's in this group and I think that's a great idea but is there a way to join just that group or do we need to become friends with each member one by one? I almost always check this site via iPhone so I may not be seeing all my choices so I thought I would just start asking the question.
