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."

Glad to hear that I am not the only one that did not recieve the letter in the box. I got the box today but no letter :( I called the reruiter and he said he wont have the ship and division # until Monday, June 28th. I have been writing letters everyday and I can't wait to send them so that he will know that he is loved and supported :)

I got the box today. My 16 year old daughter was home so the opened it... She texted me at work and said, "there's no letter inside, just clothes and some papers.. and a picture of Bubba with his hair buzzed off and it's sooo cute!!" I freaked out and told her to take a picture of the picture and text it to me... Logically, I knew they wouldn't have taken a polaroid for me and put it in his box...but she said it was in there!! Then she sent a text, "nevermind...I'm sorry...it's just an old ID picture that was inside his passport..." So, I had a moment of heart palpitations... but at least I got the box... :) Still no form letter, but I had gotten his address from the recruiter yesterday, so I sent him some letters and another phone card just in case... (My son is Ship 14/Div 271 - he left from Houston, June 17)
