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."

Ship 09 Div 315 Anyone?
My son left arrived on 7/26. I got his address from his recruiter. I noticed that no one else has posted and wondered if anyone is out there.

This may be my daughter's division. She called me within 24 hours of being there. They had already started her security clearance and they needed me to fax something to her. At that time she told me she was Division 315. In fact I had to put that next to her name on the fax. So that's all I've got to go on. Hoping to get the letter any day now to confirm.

Have you contacted her recruiter? I got my son's address on Friday and sent a letter the same day. Hoping he gets it. I was told it can take two weeks for the mail person to be trained before they get mail. But I'm writing anyway. It seems to help me.

I'm not gonna bug them. They aren't the smartest tools in the shed anyway. I've noticed that people whose kids arrived at Great Lakes last week, are getting their letter right away. I'll give it a couple days.

My daughter's recruiter called me last Friday and gave me my daughter's address also. I also sent the letters I had written on Friday. Writing to her seems to help me also.

That's great news. Did she go to MEPs on the 26 and fly out on the 27th? That's what my daughter did. I got the box yesterday, but still no form letter. Crossing my fingers it will come today.
