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."

My son is actually taking leave and coming home for 6 days after PIR. Hopefully before we take him back to Great Lakes I will know for sure. I would think they would know exactly what they can and cannot have.

Congratulations to div 023!! My son was not able to do battle stations with his div 023. He will be doing them tomorrow with another division. He sounded very down about this but I am sure he will do fine tomorrow.
