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."

bdmom64 that's wonderful! So nice of your son to address it to dad. I hope ours arrives tomorrow. I'm sure they're not getting yelled at any more than the other divisions, it's all part of the process I suppose :)

Received letters from my husband today. Div 47 is still experiencing some hiccups because of the same people not following orders. However, my husband did say they were able to call this past Sunday because they were able to earn the privilege as a team. It also sounds from his letter that the members of Div 47 are slowly getting closer together. My husband even referred to his division as "family". Made me feel so proud!

I received a letter from my son yesterday. He knows your husband. He said everything is going ok. Unfortunately his bunk mate was ASMO'd so he was bummed about that. Very tired at night tho and the days are going fast! He's getting very good at Laundry PO! =)

So sad about his bunkmate! It sounds like they are all getting into their roles and really coming together as a team. It makes me so happy to hear they're doing well.

Beachmom, I am in Nevada. Last week, we received letters on Wednesday and Saturday. Nothing this week. I believe that this may have been their "Hell Week". If so, they have been unbelievably busy. But that still should not have affected their ability to mail letters out on Monday.

Hopefully tomorrow it will arrive. My uncle who's only an hour away received his today, that made my day! He's 90 and served in the Navy during WWII.

Hell Week is a very busy week and many do not have time to write, or may be too exhausted to on the weekend. We have been told that the RDCs are not allowed to punish the SRs by suspending mail service to/from them. So hopefully those not receiving mail from their SRs this week is just because they are so busy.
