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 too! He also signed up a year ago. His original address changed, but his division is still the same. I have sent quite a few letters, but I know that he isn't much of a letter writer. I'm afraid that I will miss any calls. We live in the Quad City area (Davenport, IA/Rock Island, IL) area so we are planning on going to the PIR.

My son is at Ship 12 Div 326! I've sent him mail, but can't wait to see him on 8-30. Wish I knew how he was doing. I'm new to all this, but the chat is very informative already!

Welcome waiting is hard! Maybe we will get calls today or tomorrow? My SR is same div. There are maybe 2 or 3 others on here its seems like a small div! Lol stealth div? Haha
Keep our phones charged. Its hard when others have received letters and calls and have left a week or so after ours but patience I guess. -

Thanks, Nancytysmom! Yes, waiting is tough, and when I wake up every morning, I think of him and wonder how he's coping. Is he excelling? I'm hoping for a letter, any news at all, before the 30th, LOL Stealth div seems a good moniker for 326. I hope to get a flight to Chicago that allows me time to go to the meet-and-greet on the 29th.

My heart truly aches for you! We are so very lucky we are only a little over 3 hours away. I know that it isn't the same, but you CAN watch it live stream and then there is the DVD. MY SR also has A school in GL. I know some are flying in, to only be with their SR for a few hours before they have to fly to A school.
