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."

In the clouds I guess :) I'm so excited for you...I figure since you got your box before me, on Thursday, and I got mine on Monday that maybe that means I'm just a few days behind you on the letter - so maybe FRIDAY?? :) I'm still waiting for a call from my recruiter, in fact, I'm gonna call him right now! Congrats! Will let you know when I get mine!

Comment by bspires6 on October 11, 2011 at 8:18pm: OMG!! I got my letter today too. Same one Ship 007 DIV 009. PIR Dec 2nd!!!! We will be there!!!! .... My husband went to the mailbox, came home and yelled "Look what we got!!!" I was cooking dinner. I screamed and opened the letter. I forgot to turn off the stove. It was a short one but he said he was fine. He said he missed us and his sisters. I am checking on flights. I am so excited. His sisters already wrote their letters. I am mailing mine tonight. It is a HAPPY DAY!!!

Ship 07 - Div 009 - PIR Dec.2

We were all so excited to hear from her and know she really is okay.

Comment by Phillies on October 11, 2011 at 10:17pm: My daughter sounded positive about Div 009. I hope all goes well for all of the recruits. They are all in my prayers!

Comment by Moskate on October 12, 2011 at 2:02pm: My daughter is also Ship 007 Div 009. We should stay in touch!

Comment by DisneyDebi (02/903) on October 12, 2011 at 3:07pm: Well I didn't get it yesterday, but I did call my recruiter and he gave me his Ship/Div and told me he would graduate on 12/2 as well! So excited - will actually meet you all!!! Or hope to anyway - I heard they have Meet and Greets so maybe we can all make it to that? My son is in Ship 02 Div 903. Still waiting on the letter for confirmation, but I trust the recruiter - he's been on top of everything since day one!
