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."

Hi kerry9396, I just got a call from my son, hope you did too! It sounds like he is doing good. It was good to hear his voice!

I finally just found out my sons ship and division number today. Still no form letter so I had to call the recruiter. She couldn't find him under her recruits and had to dig to find him. But he is ship 14 Division 249. When he called last Saturday and talked to my husband he said they were moving this last Monday. Some sort of delay?

My son is Ship 14 Div 249 as well. I got a call on 6/13. Have you received any letters yet -- other than the letter with the grad info?

I finally got a call from my boyfriend three hours ago who's in Div 250! Of course, I cried like a baby... because they didn't cut our call to less than two minutes this time. He stayed on the phone for about 15 minutes (maybe 20 because we spent so much time refusing to hang up until the next person). He said that they weren't allowed to write letters for the past two Sundays but that he'd be able to write tomorrow! He sounded tired and sick, but he's staying strong. It just made my whole day because I'd felt so disconnected from him. He says he hasn't received my letters yet (although I sent them out about five days ago) but he was so happy to know I was writing because he was super jealous of the people who had gotten mail. Overall, I'm so relieved to finally hear from him after such a long period of silence! Can't wait for PIR!

Hi Proud Mom my son is in the same Div and is the same AECF. I take it he is staying in GL for A school? My son sounds the same like he is really enjoying himself.
