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."

My son flew out on the 25th after waiting for 9 long months for an opening in the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC) school in South Carolina.
Just learned today that he is in ship 11.

hello everyone our son left on the third and we had a huge thanksgiving dinner for him both sides of the family came and it was great. Remember your depper may have some issues so if he/she gets moody let it go. Ours did and I cried the whole time (doesnt help I am 45 ;) ). He did have a good sense of humor and called me Elmo every time I cried and talked at the same time because my voice went up two octaves.... lol. I heard from him once so far and I have his ship# and division. If you have any problems or questions call the recruiter and if you don't get the answers call again. Remember they are grown up and are young women and men BUT they were ours first and no one can ever love them like us.

My son left of the 4th and our recruiter said he would have his address on Friday (Nov. 6th). I called and left a message and received "no" call back so I called him again today and he said he did check but did not have it yet. so now he said maybe Monday!! Ugh, I have his girlfriend, sister and family just waiting for his address......but still nothing. Like you said radioma4 I will just keep calling him until I get the answer I am looking for. We just want to get the letters going that way ASAP!!!!
