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."

My son is in Ship 12 Div 097 and I haven't even gotten the form letter. His box came about a week after he shipped (1/25/12) but no form letter. I got his adress form the recruiter this morning and mailed him a couple letters. I sure hope he gets them.

Hello Prouddad, Our son got to GL on 1/25/12, got his box the follow Tuesday 31st.
His form letter came Tues. the 7th ...(it is postage stamped Feb. 03) now I dont know if there will be a pattern here with mail getting here on Tues. I will let you know tommorow. Looking forward in getting a real letter from him. I'm sure mail time is slower if family is more state away unless mail is flown out. We are in Kansas, you!?
I have seen post on facebook were family are asking their SR in letters who they bunk with and guys around them, so family of said SR can find each other on facebook or this site. Are you on facebook? Not sure now privite this site is and if we are to post our SR's names!!

Hey Debby - I received the form letter last week (Wednesday I think) we live in Atlanta. It is very important that you get the form letter. It has the pass code for the gate and the names of family approved to go to the graduation.
