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."

Left for BC March 21, SHIP 003 DIV 813
We got "the box" yesterday and I called the recruiter today to find out Ship and DIV number. Love to hear from others in my son's ship and division.

Wow...geesh...Im upset because, I did get my son's box yesturday, but when I called the recruiter so he could look up my son's address (ship and div #), he refused...he said for me to just wait till I hear from him :(
He shipped out the 22nd !!! I would so love to be able to send my son letters :'(
To know something...anything...mayb you can ask your son if "Reed" (Thessa L. Reed II) is in your son's group ?
I have had such bad experiences since they day he left for the hotel...the 21st...after that its just been horrible ever since...we were lied to multiple times...even when we arrived at MEPS (Charlotte, NC), I have been upset ever since he shipped on the 22nd :'(
Sorry, enough of my vamping.... I appoligize....
Would you let me know something if you find out anything ?, Please ?

I got the form Letter today with Ship 04 DIV 813 as his mailing address....the recruiter was wrong. I've heard that the ship numbers change once they get to Great Lakes so the recruiter doesn't really know. If it helps my son says he's having a blast at Boot Camp. Remember they've been dreaming of starting this journey into the Navy.
I know your hurting but remember last names are not a good thing on any of these sites.
I work with the Navy as a federal contractor, the Navy works slow but typically comes through. I'll lift you and your son up with all my heart.
