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."

Has anyone received a letter yet? My son is div 079. Our first call was 7 or 8 minutes and the second came Sunday and was only 3. I don't understand why his calls or so short comparatively to others in his division. Any ideas? He says he likes it and sounds good. I just wish I has more time or a letter. Still no letter.

Stacey, Hang in there! I bet we have a letter by the end of this week. My son said that he thought that they would be writing letters this last Sunday. If that is the case, then depending on where we live, and the Christmas holiday, we should get them by Friday or Saturday. Maybe even a phone call on Christmas. Let's pray for it! Take care, and hold on to HOPE!

Today, Saturday, December 28th. Still no letter, and didn't get a call. But one of our moms who's son is in Div. 79 did. And she was so excited. Said that our boys won a graduation flag. That is so awesome!

Hi all! Just got a letter from my son. Says that he is really sick. I am sure that his friend that he met there at BC wrote the letter for him. Because, it is not in my son's hand writing. If you have a son, named Tim, I just want to give you and your son a HUGE HUG! I just pray that I my son, and all of our sons, get better soon, as they have all gotten sick I guess. Prayers for all of them. Thanks again Tim! Can't wait to meet this wonderful friend of my sons!

I think that is so great these kids are going out of their way to do things for the ship mates! That's so good to hear! They are definitely making life long friends. I hope your son is feeling better too...I know a lot of them have been sick so hopefully he's over whatever it was he had.
