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."

Anyone else have a child in here? My 20yr old daughter, Katlyn, arrived at boot camp on the 11th. She is our only child so this is very very hard...daddy's holding it together (his little princess is gone) and I am a mess, with tears flowing at any given moment. :'(

Our son arrived yesterday(12th). How do you already know his ship and division?
My son arrived yesterday as well. I am dying for information on address, anticipated PIR date etc. just as I am sure you are. I'll stay in contact here and post when I get something. God Bless you on this adventure!
As soon as you find out his ship # let me know! I really want to find other mom's to be a prayer warrior with! I like your name!!! I feel the same way!
Hi Texas Girl!

Just left the recruiter's office and got my sons info. He is Ship 10, Division 333. No Grad Date yet since they haven't ranked up and probably will not do so until this coming Friday. I would love it if our sons are together. Let me know when you get his info. Until then, both of you are in my prayers!
Hi Proud!!
Our kids are in the same Ship!! They will probably be training together. She is Div 332 so maybe brother/sister divs?
My son is at GL too, arrived august 10,2010. just got his box today. Is your ship 10 div 332, her's and if so how do you know it already. please let me know. I miss him as well. couldn't even open his box up. had to wait until youngest son came home from work. he opened it. I need to take stock in "kleenex"

We received our Ship # and Div by calling their recruiter and they gave us the info then the form letter comes with the same info on it.
Her recruiter gave us her address the next day after she arrived...it has the ship and div in the address. Wow that's fast shipping on the box!! Maybe i'll get mine tomorrow :( so sad and depressing!!
My son arrived in BC on August 10th, 2010 as well. I have not received anything yet. Very anxious to get his mailing address.
Can't believe there's no one else with a daughter in this Division...
