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 also in Div 257, and we didn't get a call either! I was really hoping to hear from him! 32 days until PIR...

Wow 32 days, I hear if they have made it this far then chances are they will finish. I can't wait!
We've already booked the hotel and rental car we're still deciding if we will fly or drive.

Hello, has anyone spoken to their SR. It's been a few weeks since I've gotten a call.....sigh
-

No, I haven't talked to him for a few weeks. His letter last week told me they are very busy. He is doing really good. I can tell the difference in him, just by what he is writing in his letters now. I keep my phone with me at all times, so I don't miss a phone call. So I wait and I count down the days till I see him!!

I didn't get a call this weekend either. I was hoping and I keep my phone on me at all times as well. I even forward cell calls to house phone so I can hear it all over the house. I haven't received any letters either. I assume all is well. Would love to talk to him though!!

I got a letter today!!! A real one, not a "hi family I miss you and I will send a longer letter later, love you"
He sounds so good, the letter was so funny, so I guess PIR is still a go. We were a little worried with him being sick and out for four days. I am so happy and excited, no matter what happens!! Says I should get a call tomorrow after battle stations. I can't wait!!
Hope you Moms are feeling as good. God bless our sons and daughters!!
Linda
