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."

Hang in there!!!

So is my daughter :)
My recruit just placed a phone call to my other daughter, but I get no service here at work so I probably missed it :(
I also received a second letter the other day, mine go out daily!
My daughter will be going to San Antonio for A school :)

got a call from my son this morning. He says he is making forever friends. He was a little emotional and I asked him if he was OK? Yes Mom everyone gets this way just miss you guys. He took a test so he could pull the mail for everyone and that's what he does now. He says getting mail is really important to everyone. So proud of all the SRs!

Hi we received a call as well. He was also a little emotional. He says he's also made lifetime friends. Makes me very happy to know that they are all in this together and can lean on each other when times get tuff!!

@Brandy and @PomMom I am glad they have each other to lean on. Received 2nd letter today and he says that the 8 pound boots and flutter kicks are nearly torture, his words. :)
My SR is really growing up I can tell by the words he uses. He ends the letter with the words, Loving Sailor....WOW.
He did mention on the phone that he was not sure if he had leave on Memorial day. Because he's staying in GL for A school he thought he might have watch. He said he would find out when he checks into A school. I really haven't made any plans for memorial day except maybe going to see the parade. My husband and I fly out Monday night around 830pm just in case he can hang out with us.
