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."

Ship 12/Div 150

Hello, everyone. Getting real excited about PIR. Bought airline tickets earlier today. Our youngest son graduates 5/11. He's a nuke. Got the form letter Friday. Hoping for our first "real" letter from him soon.

Hi division 150! my son is div. 149 so they are sister divisions and go through together. One and 1/2 weeks! I am so excited. Will be anxious to get our sailor calls, but I guess we will be last as our guys are in the last two groups for this division. I am so glad they were put in this group and not held back for the next group.
Have a great evening! See you all soon.

Hi, BC! The days that were so agonizingly slow to pass are now dissolving as PIR approaches! So proud of them all! See you next week!
