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."

In my son's letter he said 931 has 100 SR's instead of the normal 80 or so. He will be carrying the flag for the state of Mississippi :)

I got a phone call yesterday. It was so good to hear my daughters voice. She is going to be carrying the North Carolina Flag. She said she is making friends which made me feel so much better knowing she is not going through this alone. Can't wait for the next phone call.

I got a call yesterday, but if your SR had watch at the time the phone calls were made then he wouldn't have been able to call. No news is good news, if something was wrong you would know! Hugs!!! Hang in there. I know 2 Moms on the FB page for 6/13 PIR also didn't get calls, most likely for the same reason.

3 letters today :) the first was after he got his wisdom teeth out, he said he was drugged up. Crazy kid. He did say he felt like he had known his shipmates his whole life. Now, if he would just tell me who those friends are, that would help.

Hi everyone! We're currently stationed overseas and can't get back, so our youngest son is flying in to support his older brother for the PIR. We've received 4 letters, including the form letter, so military post is being kind for sure! Please keep posting the information that you find/have/figure out. It's so hard to be over 6,000 miles away-these groups help a lot!

JUST got a phone call in the middle of the night (we're 7 hours ahead) and our son sounds GREAT! Happy Early Mother's Day for SURE!
