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! Got my form letter and box yesterday! My SR is ship 10 Div 340! I'm from Franklin, NJ. Note home was brief but encouraging. Was written on Thursday last week. Said they had 'a few more days of processing'. I guess Monday was the 'big day' for them? Hope to start making plans for the PIR trip! Got tons of info from the boot camp mom's page and the DEP's leaving in Aug pages! Glad to meet everyone!

Our son Cody is in this ship 10 div.340, we received a letter today, telling us the graduation date. It was a form letter, but he was able to write his own personal notes on it. Was so glad to hear from him. Can't wait til Oct. 8, 2010, I've been trying to find a list of stuff that we can send. Can't seem to get a clear answer. Anybody know?

Hi Regina! Welcome aboard! I know we can send letters, cards, and funny comics (in good taste). All they can receive right now is standard envelope mail. If Cody needs a phone card, you can send that. Make sure its one that he can use at a pay phone and activate it and try it before you send it.
