OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 17, 2011 at 12:36pm: Ashlove2317,

I have my moments. Some days are better than others but I can't say any are good at this point. How are you? Did you get a phone call Saturday? I got one from my son for like three minutes. He sounded really tired but it was so great to hear his voice. It was my birthday and that was the best present ever. I'm not sure why he got to call. He just said, "they let us call for a few minutes." That call was like an adrenaline rush for me but it also broke my heart at the same time. How old is your son? And how is he?

Comment by diannep on January 17, 2011 at 12:33pm: JaredJen: You won't get the address with the box...the form letter comes separately (soon after the box, sometimes before the box!). Be writing your letters now anyway...then when the form letter comes you can slap that address on them and mail (you may want to number your letters!). Some ask the recruiter for an address and mail earlier. Just make sure that you doublecheck the recruiter's address with the form letter's because sometimes there is a difference (form letter is correct). They will will get the letters mailed to the recruiter's address, but it may take longer if it's wrong.

Remember, all mail is held from the recruits for the first 2 weeks of bc, at least. So don't be surprised if you have been mailing letters and they finally write and ask why you haven't written! They will get all that are held at one time!

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 17, 2011 at 12:30pm: I know how you feel. I have been there. When I received my box the address was not in it. I just cried. I contacted my son's recruiter and he e-mailed me the address. It made me feel so much better.

Comment by JaredJen (Seth) on January 17, 2011 at 12:25pm: I want my son's box!!!! :-) I really want an address. I can just picture my son sitting there and not getting any mail and it just breaks my heart.

Comment by ashlove2317-GM C SCH. SAN DIEGO on January 17, 2011 at 12:20pm: Mollie- I hope you gets yours today too! I didnt think FedEx would be running today, but I sure am happy they are. How are you holding up so far?

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 17, 2011 at 12:16pm: ashlove23177, that was so sweet of him. I'm still awaiting my son in a box. I expect it today as well. I know some moms whose sons left the same day as mine got their's on Friday. I wasn't sure if fedex would run today though because of MLK day.

Comment by ashlove2317-GM C SCH. SAN DIEGO on January 17, 2011 at 12:07pm: I just received my husband in a box! He put a bunch of notes and voice recordings on his phone for me and our son while he was at the airport last week! Bring on the tissues!

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 17, 2011 at 11:52am: Good morning! I just called the Public affairs office about Div 91 not being listed for PIR.

Left a message on answering machine. They didn't say that the office was closed for MLK day.

I hope everyone is hanging in there.

Comment by ashlove2317-GM C SCH. SAN DIEGO on January 17, 2011 at 11:50am: Good Morning everyone!

Comment by diannep on January 16, 2011 at 6:31pm: And, yes, Jean...there are others besides you that have a division number that is not listed in the 3/4 group, so hopefully the Public Affairs Office clears it up tomorrow. Post when you get info!
