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."

I found out today that my daughter is on ship 3 div. 117, if I have it figured right her PIR should be 4/13.

Look forward to this week. I have a letter ready to mail with some pictures that we took before she left. Just keep smiling!!

I have not recieved any information yet about her ship or division. It is so frustrating. It would be nice if they were together, do you have any information yet as to your daughter's ship and division? I keep checking her recruiter's site but nothing has been posted yet.

Great! I will call him tomorrow, hopefully the holiday won't cause a delay.

Did you get your daughter's address from her recruiter? My son left on the 15th, I wonder if his recruiter will have his address tomorrow

My daughter left for basic training Jan. 11th and I have got 4 letters so far from her. The 1st letter took like 3 weeks to get. "The box" was hard but I still have yet to even open it. My daughter packed everything before she left so now I have a room full of boxes and totes since she is active and god knows when she will be coming home or have a place of her own. She has 1 backpack that I am supposed to take with me to graduation that has her Kindle, and cell phone and charges. and a pair of jeans and so forth. I know the waiting is hard, hang in there the letter will come. I got 1 letter a week for 3 weeks, now I got 2 letters this week I was so happy.

Here are a some discussions you might want to check out:  What EXACTLY do I need to bring to Basic?, and What to bring to bootcamp?,  I know there are others as well, but I know those deal with female recruits.  Blessings to you and yours.
