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."

I hope by now you have heard something from your daughter, Cindy, :-). My son called on Saturday also. He sounded pretty good. So far it, he feels the division is starting to "get it together". It was a relief to hear his voice!

Hi all, my Daughter is on ship 12 div. 18. I got my first letter today, very emotional for me. She sounds good, so that made me feel better. She misses home, but is hanging in there. She said they all encourage and support each other, sounds like a great group of kids.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only parent from Ship 12 Div 17 that hasn't heard anything. I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong.

Yah! I got a letter from my daughter today: ) so good to hear from her, still no phone call, but I'm happy. It wasn't dated, but she wrote that it was week 1 day 7. And the only time they have to write is on Sundays. She said that her division started out with 76, but they are down to 66, that some got sent home because they were sick. Said the days go by fast, they are so busy.

I missed my daughters call also, ship 12 dub 17. She said they usually get to make calls on Saturday. Luckily, she was able to connect with her boyfriend. I was so sad
