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."

What day did your SR arrive at Bootcamp? Mine got there 7/31. Do you know the PIR yet? How did you find out the Ship # and Div # so quickly?

When did your SR ship to GL? Just curious the time frame it takes to get 'the box'

My SR got to GL on Monday. I called the recruiter and they accomdate you in any info that you need. and i found this website on here to help find out the day by this website http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/grad_day.asp but it isnt posted yet and the recruiter said he would let me know as soon as he finds out also.

my daughter is also ship 12 div 307 !  :)

Our son is in Ship 12, Div 307 also. He left on 7/30. Got the form letter on Saturday but have not received a box yet, maybe today. Says grad date is 9/28/12.

i got the box the day before my letter.  You'll probably get it today.  Kris

 

I hope he didn't decide to throw everything away or "donate" it to charity as I let him take my cell phone as he thought his was "too fancy" to take to bootcamp and have to be shipped back and risk being damaged. :)

Since everyone else is getting their boxes already I imagine it will be here today.

i got my letter today, looking at flights and thinking of what to do. Wondering whats going on :0

our son is ship 12 Divb 306..i got his box in 2 days and our form letter today.

My SR also arrived on 7/30 got the box two days later and his form letter saying PIR is 28 Spet 12. Going to keep looking on here to see when you guys recieve letters and phone calls.

Our son left 7/31. We got a phone call from him when he reached Chicago but have heard/seen nothing since. We keep waiting for the box and letter. I'm assuming he will be in the same division as your kids.
