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."

Our son is Ship 13 Div 090 and called yesterday too for about 15 minutes. He sounded good! Said that he had gotten some of our mail - we were so glad to talk to him. We were afraid we would miss his call!! We used every single second of the call until he had to hang up. It was just reassuring to hear from him! Casey

I'm glad to be a part of this group. My son is in DIV 090. He called yesterday and we were allowed only 15 minutes but I was grateful for each second. He sounded great though he did say it was rough. I can barely wait til 2/06/15. Beverly

My son is Ship 13 div 090, he called yesterday for about 20 mins, it was the best phone call of my life, to hear his voice. He is so happy and said they started getting letters Christmas Eve and that he had sent 3 t us. I cant wait to get his letters. I miss him so much. I am not going to be able to go to PIR so it will be another 6 months after that before I get to see him. But he is healthy and sounds happier than I can remember for a long time.

My daughter got some letters from her brother today. Ship 13 Div 089. It made her so happy! She was also excited because she got one before me this time. Hopefully I will get a letter tomorrow. Its weird how the letters arrive on different days when they are all sent out on Sunday.

Thank You if you replied to my question.. I'm thinking that maybe there's a group of SR's in each Division with same #...I'm just bearly comprehending the life in the military. When I spoke last week with my son, he told me that there were a lot....I can only imagine what he's going through.....I hope he's comfortable to changes...meaning...military life compare to the civilian life..
