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."

Still no address after three weeks so we called the recruiter and was told my son is in DIV 815 (along with the rest of his full address), so here I am in this group to wait it out with all of you. We had a stack of out outgoing letters waiting for an address so they will be at the post office at the airport tonight...not going to wait for the postman to pick them up tomorrow. It's comforting to know there are other parents in this group whose sons are my son's new buddies. They are the finest young men I could ever hope my son to share this incredible experience with. Can't wait to see his handwriting again, we've never been out of touch before, not for a day.

So far the best price we've found is Navy Lodge. Our family and my son's fiance will come in Thursday afternoon (07/05), but we don't know how long we should stay. Does anyone know if we'll get to see our DIV 815 guys on Saturday too? We hope to get there in time to meet some of you on Thursday at Sarge's meet and greet. We're all so excited already we can hardly wait.
