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 have not received anything yet

Hello I am going crazy. I cry everyday missing my son. He left August 3rd and I only received his box. No form letter or just even a plain ol letter. I am wondering if he is ok. Spoke to his recruiter and got his graduation date and address but still nothing from him. Anyone else going through this..? I am beside my myself not being able to hear his voice or know if he is alright.

I just joined this site today and this is my first post.  Thanks to all of you for your insights! My son went August 10.  I received the box last week and a letter from him today. Unfortunately, the post mark is stamped on top of  the return address so I can't even read what division he is in. I can make out the rest of the address.  I haven't gotten that form letter thing with his graduation date.  Should I have received it by now? I haven't gotten any calls. : (

It will come soon. Have letters ready to mail him. Or you can call his recruiter to get the address. That is what i did. By the time he called I had already mailed him one and I write him everyday as he asked me. Hang tight. Trust me I know it's difficult. I still cry everyday and yearn to speak and know what is going on with me son. I am buying my ticket for graduation tonight. Keep strong and stay on this website..
