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."

I have lots of friends in the Milwaukee area! Some of them hope to come and meet me on Saturday evening for dinner, and I hope that works out. Lucky you, are you going to drive to PIR? I wish we could, because I know my son would love to see our dog. I can't bring her on the plane, it would be too much. I think this site is a great lifeline for us!

Yes we will drive. It's about 2 hours depending on traffic. Hopefully your Milwaukee friend will make it down. It's funny you mention a pet. My daughter would love to see her cat and although we could bring him (boy cat) my husband sad NO. The Navy Lodge even has pet friendly rooms. Oh well.

Have the addresses changed for our recruits? My son was sending mail from one address, and the last letter I received is a different street address, but the same division, and of course, Great Lakes. Should I go with the new address? Help!

Addresses have not changed that I know Of. If I were you I'd send correspondence to the original address given to you in your SRs form letter.

Hello, Our son is with Ship 11 Div 015 and we have not heard from him in a couple weeks. We are set to leave for Chicago in the morning from West Texas. He is set to graduate on Thursday. Has anyone heard from their Recruits? Have they done BattleStations or have you got your call as of yet? We are so nervous and concerned that he is doing OK. Thank you, Mendabee

Mendabee, my daughter is also with Ship 11 Div 015. I have not heard from her in a couple of weeks either. Graduation is actually set for Friday, November 20, not Thursday. I am also concerned, but have been told that no news is good news. Please let me know if you hear anything from your recruit.
