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."

My daughter left for boot camp, Tuesday, May 10th. I called her recruiter today to get her address. Sending letters out tomorrow. I'm excited and scared for her, her father and I were both Army. She is Ship 02 Div 934. I haven't received her clothes yet. When I do I'll probably cry, she's the last out of the nest.

You inspired me to call and get our sons address, my husband had told me to be patient but when I saw your post i knew I was calling first thing today! He also is ship 3 but division is 222. Haven't received anything in the mail yet we were thinking his pir would be the 8th but reading below it might be earlier that would be wonderful, this is our first experience with the military, unbelievable how happy an address made me, i feel a little connected now.

OHhh so you have one that changed directions too. My son has taken a lot of ribbing because he went Navy instead of Army. His dad, brother and cousin are all Army. His uncle and another cousin were also Army. So he has had to hear it all from them and from all his dad's Army buddies....but he has always taken the different path for things, so this actually was so him.

We actually directed her to the Air Force but she wants to be on an aircraft carrier.
