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."

We are from Ft. Lauderdale Florida. I'm so glad I found all of you but I'm looking for help. I haven't received the form letter or a personal letter with his official ship/div. Is anyone else experiencing this? I called his recruiter on Monday and he gave me the ship 12/div 167 but now I'm wondering if that's right. Help!

My son is 21 and I thought he would be the old man. He told me in his letter that they actually have a 38 year old guy in their division! I didn't realize you join join at that age.

Janeleg, I wonder if your son was referring to my son when he thought he was one of 2? That would be cool!

I think he said it was his bunk mate who is also the Post office person? Could that be your son? I know he said he thinks they will be life long friends.

Alemap- I don't think that my son is the post office person. He was the AROC, the last letter I received and he designed the flag for our division.

Hi everybody! Got my first 3 page letter (that's a big deal my son is man of few words) on Friday, then got a phone call yesterday! I feel like a new woman! He sounds great, although I was surprised to learn that they extracted 2 wisdom teeth this past week! The Navy doesn't mess around!
