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."

Comment by mrssauce60 on August 10, 2010 at 10:14am: My son came down with pnuemonia last week on top of his injury. He called Sunday and said he is doing better. He is hoping to be back into a division by September 2nd. Maybe light at the end of the tunnel?

Comment by mrssauce60 on August 10, 2010 at 10:11am: I send my son's mail to ship 6 Div 2341 and he seems to be getting it. Your other mail will catch up.

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on August 10, 2010 at 12:43am: I started writing to the new address as soon as I found out he was moved to ship 6. So for over a week, I've been sending mail to this address.

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on August 10, 2010 at 12:42am: The address I've been sending to is Ship 6 Div 298. That's the address I was given. And that's what's on my sons return address. Do you think that's the problem, do I have the wrong Div?

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on August 9, 2010 at 6:13pm: It took my son a couple of weeks to get the forwarded mail. They have recruits in charge of the mail delivery for the divisions so they have to handle the mail plus their regular boot camp stuff. It will get to your recruit eventually but just keep writing to Ship 6 Div 2341 then the other mail will catch up.

Comment by Karen ~ Corpsman Chris' Mom on August 9, 2010 at 5:34pm: I recieved a phone call from my son last night, he said he hasn't gotten any mail since he's been at ship 6. He's been there a little over a week now. I have written him every day, and several other people have sent letters alo, so it's frustrating that he hasn't recieved any mail from anybody yet. Does anyone else know if their recruits have recieved mail and how long it took before they started to recieve it?

Comment by JDs~Angel~ (RCU) on August 6, 2010 at 1:34pm: I got it.. just was going to share. :)

Comment by mrssauce60 on August 5, 2010 at 6:06pm: Yes, I have the address? Do you need it and if so can I post if on this site?

Comment by JDs~Angel~ (RCU) on August 4, 2010 at 10:18pm: Awww your son is keeping my bf company! LOL! We'll get through this together. No worries! Do you have the address to send mail yet? I called and spoke with Legal yesterday (not where I needed to be but I got some good answers).

Unfortunately that link Pat left is for Ship 5, so it doesn't really help, but it's a good place to go if things change.

Comment by mrssauce60 on August 3, 2010 at 10:00pm: My son was also in ship 7, div 283. Has been at RCU for about a week. I cancelled all my plane reservations, hotel, etc. for PIR this morning. Cried while I did it! Sorry to hear about your boyfiriend JD's Angel. I kept up with the postings on the Aug. 20 PIR group. We have to be strong for them!
