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."

Letter yet? Son left aug 16th
He said he is in PHold. It looks like others already know their division and ship numbers which does it also mean you know PIR date? He is a NUKE do they put them all together?
One more thing I talked two days ago to recruiter who shared that there were 4 divisions that were quarantined for chicken pox. Of course no specifics but he said it changes their grad date. I only mention it to remind us to get changeable ticketsm to PIR.
Just wondering if others from arrival on August 16 have their grad dates and ship numbers yet?
Lgod bless all our SRs,Sailors and military serving our country. N

Hi! My husband also arrived at BC on August 15th. I got his box, and he called me twice. Last time was a week ago. A 10 min call after he went to Nex. Since then no more news....
I'm also anxious about his first letter. I didn't get any form letter either...
