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 got a very quick call on Monday. He was working on his security clearance checks for his advanced training after basic training. He sounded so confident and grown up!

My son just called me. They are letting some recruits call now. Be on alert. He received my mail yesterday but won't be able to send outgoing until tomorrow. I am a bit upset he did not mail me the adopt a sailor form. He is going to try and send me one. Good luck to all!

Ship 02 division 907. Son just called, they are doing great. They got mail this week. Today is 1-6. There is 5 inches of snow out there today. The food is good and they marched in the blizzard. It was great. Good luck to everyone else and stay near your phones. We missed the first call and we worried we would not get another. But we did. They like their division! I enjoynreading everyone's comments and it is great to stay in touch. We feel great to hear what they are doing. We watched the. PIR videos and they are great to see what will happen at PIR.

I just wanted to say thank you...
My husband's father passed away Sunday morning unexpectedly. I contacted the Red Cross, who contacted RTC, who contacted my husband. He will be able to fly in for the memorial service. I talked to him briefly, and he said that everyone in the division has been very nice and supportive. I wanted to thank you for your SR's love and "brotherhood" during this time since I can't yet be with him!
