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."

Daughter left 8/22/12 from Oregon
Hi all! Our daughter left from Portland, OR on 8/22/12. Got the call later that evening that she had arrived safely in GL. Just wanted to make contact with anyone else out there who had a child leave around that same day! Now that we are really in this, I am a little more freaked out than I thought I would be! Thanks to you all! It is making all the difference reading your posts!

Yippee! Kudos to our FedEx man! Our "kid in a box" arrived today! And we were able to also get her address from the recruiter. Jason - it looks like your girlfriend and our daughter are in the same division - Ship 9/Div. 341. However, we have not received any phone call from her today...

I just had to laugh when I opened the box last night! Jeans in a buddle, shirt, stinky shoes & one sock. Then when I realized it was my sock I really laughed! The kid is still screwing with me from boot camp. I am going to make sure in my letter that he knows he owes me a pair of socks! LOL

Hey Jason! When you talked with your girlfriend yesterday did she happen to say what day they moved from the processing barracks to the training barracks?

Cool! Well good luck to her! And thanks for the heads up on the area code! My husband was wondering.
