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."

Thank you for these times! My wife left on 11/28 and I love when I can see a estimated time frame for an idea! My box came at about the same time as yours from arrival date so hopefully I'll have a letter this week!

Welcome Candice my son left on November 28th. So I'm waiting for his address also. We got this they will be fine and the time is going to go faster than we expect. I think this experience will help teach us to let go of control of our kids. It is definitely teaching me a different kind of patience. As I cant wait to hear from my son and not knowing his every move can be frustrating. I am also very proud of him.
#we all have awesome children doing great things #love our children
My brother left on 11/18. We got his PIR info and address this Wednesday (12/5). He got his first phone call on Saturday 12/9. We also received his first letters home on Saturday. If your timeline ends up being similar to ours, this week or next is your week! Congrats.
Thank you all for the encouraging thoughts and words! My son called today to get some information for paperwork!! It was so good to talk to him. He gave us his address and said he has mailed us some letters so we're looking forward to getting them. He has a cold, along with everyone else, he says. But otherwise, everything is going well. He is in division 082 and says his PIR is January 18.

Well my son is almost there..dropped him off at the hotel and he will be going to RTC tomorrow 12/11....anyone else out there have recruits shipping 12/11??. The waiting game begins and ao have the tears...love my son and I can't explain how proud I am of him
