OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Oh my gosh!!! I almost missed it! Husband had to 3 way with me because I wasn't home yet. He sounded the best yet. I finally got that "Gee, Mom, you're a goofball" tone I know so well. He seems like his old self again just grown up.

HELP! I can't get anyone to answer this for me so I'm putting it out there............
My son is ship 12/DIV 388 and like a big dummy, I addressed his letter to the wrong DIV. I put 338.
I think it's because my oldest son was in DIV 335 when he was at Boot Camp and my brain got the 2 confused.
Anyway, does anyone know if he will get the letter or if it will sit somewhere?

Vuke's Mom, I don't know, maybe if you go on boot camp moms, one of the veteran moms can help. I would think, maybe if they see his name and realize it doesn't belong in that DIV, they will see which division he is in.

Vuke's mom, I asked a veteran dad on our PIR page on FB. He has helped me a lot and this is what he said. Hope it puts your mind at peace. "Yep, delayed a little bit (day at most) but as long as the name is right it will get there. It's not like the IRS/government - every piece of mail is looked at and sent on, every serving and past military knows how important mail is, the utmost effort is made to get it delivered. Every division has a recruit MPO (Mail Petty Officer). They take their duty seriously."
