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."

Call his recruiter NOW he will have it.  and start writing NOW  and mail today. 

Thanks for the replay. We understood that we had to wait until we received a letter from him with his mailing address
I just received the box today.  There was no address in it.  I called his recruiter and he said that I would have to wait to receive a letter from him with his mailing address.  I have been receiving a lot of conflicting advice so confused

BR549 told me that his recruiter has the address now.  I just called my grandsons and got no answer at the recruting office

 

I wonder if our recruit is in the same group as my grandson.  Dylan got their about 10:00-10:30 PM Thursday 1/6/11

My son, Gabe, arrived on 1/6/11.  They will probably graduate on the same day, don't know about the division because I have no address.

I just talked to the recruiting office and the guy told me that the recruiter that signed him up does in fact have access to this mailing addres thru his SS# and he would be calling me or emailing it to me either this afternoon or in the morning-try that

We are planning on flying there from Texas for graduation-maybe we will meet if you get to come-taking into account everythings Ok and neither one of them have to spend extra time there
The Recruiter definately has his address. I got mine 3 days after he left. It's in their computer system. 
The recruiter that originally signed him up is in Puerto Rico right now.  I guess I will have to push harder tomorrow.
Definately  - Keep calling until they give you an answer that's what I did. lol eventually they will get tired of you calling.
Thats what I just told his mother I will call until the gets tired of me calling and I know where he lives-wouldnt put it past me to show up at his house  lol
Us Navy Mom's are tough!   you go Girl!
