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."

Go to U.S Navy Recruit Training Center on Facebook. They have a page. Sometimes in the picture, you can see the division number. They will go through the whole division from the flag bearers to the end.

I looked through all of the pictures but I didn't see my son. I'm not giving up though. I check frequently for new pictures. :)

I think I saw my son. He is tall 6'5" and wears glasses. He kind of stands out. I think I saw him yesterday but for sure saw him in the other random pictures.

I sure looked and there were a couple possibilities but no positive identification in the photos posted yesterday. Has anyone received a personal letter? Not that I'm anxious or anything!

No letter here. I'm hoping today. My son isn't a letter writer so I'm hoping the RDC makes him write. The mailman is also hoping he will write as I started stalking his route and now threatening to go through the whole mail truck. Thankfully he has a son in the Army so he understands how mothers of military kids are. Good luck with getting one today.

No letters, my son is in DIV 242. I talked to him on Saturday and he said Sunday would be the first oppurtunity he would have to write. He asked for me to send him sports clippings. Sounded very tired and a little down. This is his first time away from home also.

Good day to all.. my son is in Div 241 - Got a brief (maybe a minute) phone call today from him, he said he didn't have much time but he's been writing but hasn't gotten to mail letters yet. He didn't sound like himself, probably because of the short time he had to talk. Anybody else in this division got call or letters?
