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."

Pensgal - yes! I received a call from my son today too. It was totally unexpected so I was thrilled. Luckily we have 3 way calling so my husband who wasn't home at the time was able to talk to him too. I was so surprised I forgot things I wanted to ask. I'm writing them down now for the next time he calls. :)))

Hey - i got a phone call too for 22 minutes!! That just made my weekend! He said that his division didn't get their letters last night because some of the SR's were loud and wouldn't keep quiet so they took away their letter privelage. i guess they had over 100 letters, so hopefully they get them today. he said this div did awesome on their test this week. mostly 4.0's! woo hoo Div 349!

It is managed by RTC personnel who provide great info, answer questions, and have weekly contests where the winner gets to have a picture of "their" division posted. Philly5 lead me to it, she's been very helpful. Philly5 - you earned that phone call with your kindness. :)))
