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."

Ohh... That stinks..I'm sorry. Technically we should wait since it can change. I'm not sure why they won't give it you... I hate that for you... Hang in there...it will come...

My son also left on the 27th... No box yet but I did get a phone call when he arrived. I know he is in the 800 division but that is all I know. Have others received their box yet?

I got my kid in a box today! So excited but there was no mailing address so that was a bummer! I can't wait to send him the letters I am writing him. It is so strange but also nice to see their stuff and know that they must have made it through the process so far!

Dalton's mom, the form letter will come separately. Yours should come in a day or 2 since you have indicated that your SR will be in an 800 Division. There is info for you in 800 and 900 Divisions and some changes you will want to make.

My box came too! I would love to know his address. I hate waiting! Did anyone else have their travel papers in the box? I talked to his recruiter today and she does not have the info yet but will share if she gets it.
