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've made the reservations for the Ramada and booked the flights. Just trying to figure out a car rental.  I hope they were able to get some letters out this week, it would be GREAT to see how things are going.

 

Idslees, you might want to check with FedEx if they have a package for you in *holding*.  My husband was home and had to sign for it otherwise it wouldn't have been left they said.

They moved the division to Ship 3 - this is the right group.

Shoot, does this mean all the letters I've sent won't get to him??
Permalink Reply by Jake's Mom on July 21, 2011 at 10:29am
I'm certain that as long as their name is listed, the letters WILL find them!  The address I posted above is the one that he listed as his return address on the letter I got yesterday.  It isn't the same as the one on the form letter.  I don't want anything I send to take any additional time, either!  I haven't mailed my daily letter because I'm not sure who can confirm/deny that I have the correct address!  :O

I've got 2 letters I was going to mail today, I'll hold off until I find out. Dang it! I don't want a delay either.  Hopefully someone can confirm this ASAP and I get a letter from my son today!
Sharon (CTI and Nuke Mom)Permalink Reply by Sharon (CTI and Nuke Mom) on July 21, 2011 at 11:08am

The Facebook RTC folks said as long as the Division number is correct, they will receive their mail.  The address above for Ship 3 is correct - so I'd guess future mail should be addressed to:

 

SR Last Name, First Name
Ship 3, Div ______
Recruit Training Command
3600 Ohio Street
Great Lakes, IL  60088-3156
