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."

Hi everyone, my son is ship 11 div.332 as well and I did not hear any of that...I hope that they are not pushed back for graduation. He has been receiving mail as far as I can tell too. I have not had any phone calls either just the one about 3 weeks ago. I do have a question though and I am hoping that you can help. I thought I saw on here a website to order division t-shirts. I can not find it now. Just wondering if anyone would know where that would be? Thanks and I hope to see everyone in 2 WEEKS!!!! BIG SMILE:)

My SR is also going to Florida and said he'll have Friday afternoon/evening with us but flies out the next morning. That was as of last week's letter, hoping it doesn't change with this week's letter.

I am thinking that maybe my boyfriend is confused because honestly at first he wrote we'll get Friday and sat all day and then he just wrote us all a sad letter saying he's not gonna get to see us at all and to not come. I'm just hoping he's wrong. We are going anyway.

Oh, I hope you are right lovemilk.... that would be awful not to get see him. My son is going to Conneticut and then to Forida...is that normal does anyone know. I am also assuming that no news is good news...is that right? If we do not get a phone call then he is on track for graduation.... right?? I can not believe it is in 10 days!
