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."

For all you moms that are writing about not getting the phone call...I feel for you!  I remember waiting by the phone and jumping the minute it said Illinois on it!  I did receive his first actual call 2 weeks after he got there.  Unfortunately it was 6am and I was showering for work. He called twice and I missed both!! I was so upset and mad at myself.  His voicemail was awesome though!  He sounded sad at first but kept reassuring me that he was doing good.  His voicemail said the next call would be about 2 weeks. Still waiting. It is almost 2 weeks now.  I have been sleeping with my phone because I dont want to miss his call. However, I have received letters and they are amazing! I can already hear the difference in my son.  All for the better.  Half way to graduation now. Cant wait to see my Sailor all uniformed up!  So looking forward to that day!!  I miss him so much!  Anyway for all you moms waiting for calls...keep your chin up!  P.S. my son wrote that they pulled his wisdom teeth!  Cant believe how weird it is that I was not involved.  Ohhhhh getting used to letting go!!! :-)

How long did it take to get his box and form letter? He has been gone since 8/25 and I haven't received either.

Gpmp, "the box" should have been received by now. A few with recruits who shipped on the 25th are still waiting on The Form Letter, but most have received it. Is there another person that he would have sent them to? See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.
