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."

10 more days. I can hardly wait! We are planning on arriving around 6pm on Thursday. I was just wondering which Meet and Greet, if either, everyone was planning on attending? Unfortunately we didn't order DIV t-shirts in time so I think I'll have to get creative between now and then.

We are driving in from Indianapolis - about a 4 hr drive plus Chicago traffic. We won't be able to leave home til 5-6pm so it will be late when we arrive at hotel. Pretty sure we won't make any meet and greets. Just looking forward to graduation and seeing our SR. Where are your recruits going for A-school?
