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."

I feel like I have never written so many letters with so little in them! Finally, in the one I wrote today, I just admitted that we were basically pretty boring and he wasn't really missing too much at home!! If I have to write about another snowstorm....
I'm finally beginning to feel a little bit more "normal"--at least I don't cry every time something reminds me of him. He was already away for 4 years of college, so I should be used to him being away, but this is very different. I am so looking forward to 3/25.

Well, still no form letter so my husband called the recruiter. He had no info and said the initial info changes anyway...Has anyone else heard of that? My son left on the 25th arriving in GL late at night on the 26th..is that the same dates for your Sailors?? Just wondering if I should have info if everyone else does. The recruiter did say that this Sunday will be his first opportunity to write so we should get letter with address from him next week. Does a form letter come from our son or is it something that the Navy sends? Just getting concerned since others seem to have info and all I've received is "the box"!

I think you may have a poor recruiter. My son's recruter was able to give me his ship & div number on the 26th. He didn't say anything about it possibly changing.

I agree. You may want to try going into the recruiting office and try talking to him in person.

lisap: I know how you feel, we lead fairly boring lives too only our letters are all about another sunny day!
Jenine: We have not received a form letter either...only a box which we got on Tuesday. I'm hoping maybe this afternoon???? Our SR arrived at GL late the 26th. Our SR's might have been on the same bus!

Does anyone know how they are assigned to divisions? Is it when they arrived or by what job they chose?
