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."

My son is also on Ship 12 Div 295 & I received the box in the mail yesterday. Dirty clothes, cell phone & some other misc papers. Got a phone call & e-mail from his recruiter on Monday with his mailing address. This is my first experience with boot camp so all the info on this site is so very helpful.

Cooper, glad to see someone else here from the same ship and division. Havent seen anyone else. This is my first time, too.
This is great. It has definitely helped me...at least to give me something to focus on. I am waiting on the form letter now..
then a phone call, etc.

I am also very happy to find someone else from the same ship & Div.
No form letter received today. Not sure what info will be on the letter but I am anxious for any type of correspondence. I mailed out my first handwritten letter to my son yesterday so I am hoping he gets it soon & writes back so I can see how he is doing. So hard not knowing.....it has been a week today since I have spoken to him, The last time was the call letting me know he made it there ok. Very short & serious but thankful to hear his voice. I do not expect another call for a while, but still have my phone by me at all times.
