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."

Hi :) I am a New wife whose Husband just joined the Navy. He is now doing his training in Great Lakes, IL and i have some questions Please help

Does anyone else have a loved one who arrived on March 19?

The last time i heard from my husband was around 8 pm central time, and he called just to tell me

he made it and to expect another call and that i should be receiving a package.

Does anyone know when i should receive my first letter from him? i miss him so much he has been the rock for our family and i feel torn without him. i still stand and support him but i would be lying if i say i did not miss him. Also does anyone know what division he may be in?

my husband wrote EVERY chance he got. especially when he was waiting to iron clothes. some RDC's do check up on here. so I've heard. ive gotten yelled at for some stuff I posted on here... all well. my husband made it out with out any trouble. it all depends on how their RDCs are. 

My husband just left on March 20th. He is in ship 3, division 193. Do you know where your husband is?

Her hubby is div 187 ship 13 n mine is div 188 ship 13 :)
My son also left on March 19 and is on ship 13 div 187. He day of graduation is May 17. We recieved his package (clothes) on Friday and his form letter this Monday 3/25 , which stated his graduation date. I hope this helps you! My sons name is Jeffrey when you talk to your husband. Maybe they know each other! Good luck!
My husbands name is RJ. And he has the same exact ship and division as your son Jeffery I'm sure they know each other :)

Hopefully all of my husbands stuff will come in the mail today!

My SR is in the BC right now until May 3, PIR date.  Is anyone out there whose SR is also in BC right now maybe Div 176, ship 14, with the PIR on May3?
