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."

Today is Thursday 4/9...no letter today. It may take longer to sort the mail since it is the first day letters can go home. Not sure about that however. Looking for something each day....that is hard when nothing comes. But we know he is OK because we haven't heard he is not. All is good!

Good afternoon everyone. I was wondering if anyone has heard from their SR by mail or a phone call yet? I am still trying to adjust to the not knowing part of this. My son is in Ship 04 Division 181 .

Donnalisa, I know a few mom's received phone calls over the weekend. Sadly, I was not one of them. We haven't gotten a letter as yet either. :(

Momstuy, Thank you so much for your reply. I have not heard from our son either. No call and no letters. My fingers are crossed for both of us.

Thank you so much. That makes me feel better. I know it is probably still too early to hear from him. I have to get better at waiting.

If you figure out how to get better at waiting, please share that with the group. haha

I heard from my son last Saturday morning, and he was allowed another brief call this afternoon. He is also in 04-181. He received our mail for the first time a couple of days ago, and expects to be able to send letters out this week. Sounds like they can receive mail any day going forward, but can only send mail out once per week.
