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."

SHIP 12, DIV 362
Hi,
My son left for boot camp on 9/6/2012 and received his address yesterday from his recruiter. Was wondering if anyone else has a son or daughter with the same Ship/Div #. Also, do you think his PIR will be on 11/2 or 11/9? Would like to connect with other moms and dads. It has been quite a rollercoaster ride but am so proud of him and thankful for all who serve our country.
