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."

Hello Ship 13 Div 292 Moms!!! Hard to believe it has been 2 weeks yet at the same time it seems longer than 2 weeks. I sure miss my son but I am SO proud of him. I have been through this once before as my 2nd oldest daughter was in boot camp in 2013. I can't wait to witness another boot camp graduation! :)

We got two letters in today's mail, both in one envelope from our SR. The first letter was dated 7/10 and you could see in how writing how nervous he still was. The second letter was dated 7/17 and he sounded much more relaxed. He even said he is the Mail PO for his division and he loves the looks on his fellow SR faces when he can hand out some mail. He said he took the swimming test and he knows he is going to make us proud of him. So happy to hear from him, hopefully we get a phone call from him in the next few days!

Happy for you and the mail you received from your son!!!! I'm hoping we get a call this weekend too!!! :)

I also received two (short!) letters in one envelope today -- my first -- and happy to have them. My son says he loves it, because with all they go through, "80 other people are with me." :-)

Good Morning Ship 13 Div 292 Moms!!!! Every day is a day of hoping my son calls!!! Sometimes I think it's hard to be on this website as you see other divisions calling home and none for my sons division!!! As I said above I have been through this before so I understand how it works with phone calls and there are many reasons they may not have called yet but it doesn't make it easier!!!! Keeping my chin up as that's what my sons last words were to me when he made the call to say he got to camp the day he left!!!! Hoping we all get a call today ladies!!! :)

About 3:15 California time today, my first call (not counting "I'm here" and "send security clearance info") came from my SR. :-) I hope everyone else gets their Div 291/292 call today, too!
