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."

Ok, I just got my form letter and my daughter is in this division. Since one was not started for this group, thought I would start it! I am so excited to start writing letters and passing her address to the 25 family members that want it! LOL Anyone else in this division? My daughter left on Tuesday 5/8 from Cleveland MEPS!

My boyfriend is going to Groton, CT for A-school because he will be a Machinist's Mate on a submarine, and I am going to be staying at the Red Carpet Inn for PIR because it's the closest to the base

Hi, My son Charles (Bubba) left MEPS; Memphis 5/8. I got my 2nd letter Thurs & my 1st phone call yesterday! He sounded great but he said the division has only been given mail twice only. He says they were told they would be given a few times a wk in the beginning but has no idea when that will start. He did say it was actually easier than what he was expecting. He said it was kinda fun on occasion as well. Hes bonded with alot of the guys & girls. Said its hard not to when there are 84(including him) people you are with day in & out around the clock. Hopefully if you havent already others will be hearing from your recruits soon enough! keep your phones close! :)
