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 Kyles Mom,
My son is in Ship 11, Div 58. He left November 14th. I haven't received any letters or phone calls yet either. I'm hoping maybe he will get to write home tomorrow. The waiting to hear anything is so hard. I'm sure you feel the same way. I'm only going by the motto No News is Good News. I pray all our boys are doing ok. Hang in there :-) -

My son is also in Ship 11 Div 58 and I haven't heard from him either. From what I've been reading I think they just started their training this week. Maybe they can't write letters until tomorrow.

I see where some recruits were calling home today. Not from Ship 11, but from the main PIR page 1/11/13. Having said that, stay close to your phones everyone, your call could be next.
