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."

I understand, I look every day for a letter since I missed my phone call. I have not heard from him since he left. I miss him so much and of course I worry on how he is getting along in boot. It's nice to have someone to reach out to now I know someone else will have a love one in the same place as my son. I just hope I get a letter for I leave to go to Graduation, I know my son is not a writer but I begged him before he left to write me even if it's only 4 sentences. lol I hope your hubby is doing well too.

Hi Dierdre1202! My son is in Div 090 and going to A school in SC also for the nuke program. What is your son signed up for? We are originally from Texas but live in NE Louisiana now. I've always heard about Chicago pizza and thought it would be something fun for us to do after PIR. I'm waiting to hear back from my sailor to see if thats good with him. Thanks for the info!
