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 boyfriend left July 17th & called me at 3AM to let me know he arrived. I received my box but no form letter yet :( is anyone else still waiting for their form letter that left around the same time ?
My husband got there on the 18, no box or form letter yet...

At least your recruiter got you the info, ours said they never get that info... so my only choice is to wait for that Form letter to get here!

My son arrived at GL's on July 18th, I received his box yesterday. No note unfortunately. Just the things he left with. I felt a little more connected with him having received the box. I am waiting for the form letter now. He is ship 2 div 944. I am thinking PIR date will be Sept. 14th. Any others received form letters yet? If so what is the PIR date listed?

My son also arrived on the 18, got the box Tuesday but no letter yet, got his ship/division from a recruiter. Anyone else still waiting on their letter?

 

I too am waiting for a letter.  My son arrived on the 17th.  I also received his box on Tuesday.  Have you written your son yet since you have his ship and division number.  I think I might call his recruiter on Monday and ask for my sons ship/div number.   

I did send one letter, everyone cautioned me to wait incase the recruiter was wrong but I didnt want to take the chance of him not getting a letter when everyone else did incase it was right... I have 6 more I am waiting to send..

Send, send, send :)
