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 got mail on Friday as well.....same thing no mail from us. =( Hope they ALL get the numerous letters we have all written today. I just can't wait till they get to buds as I live 6 miles from base and I see all the recruits everyday on my way to work. "Yes, I'm lucky enough to live on those 6 miles of beach," and can't wait to tell all I saw class 2xx and how great all our boys look. Looking forward to meeting all at PIR.

Hello Tnmimom,
No...I'm in CA, waiting for our kids to get here for BUDS....I'm 6 miles from there. Go to PIR forum, lots of people who have been to graduation already have been posting about pick-up, hotels, ect.....Try that for info. So sorry you have not recieved mail yet. My son is 807 and I got my 1st letter Friday. Seems 808 moms have not yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Those of you that have gotten letters, are you Div 807 or 808? My husband is 808 so maybe it's his division whose letters havent come out yet. Idk.

Hope 808 division isn't experiencing problems. My son is in that division, and I am still waiting patiently, well trying anyways. :)
