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."

I'm still trying to learn about everything Navy and bootcamp. My son is graduating 9/30/11. He is in Div 323. What does that mean? Wondering how they split them up when they got there. Is it by profession, or male/female. My son went to boot with a really nice girl, and they got split up. I can't wait until we get a real letter. Really missing my son. Have you all looked at the videos? It's was nice to see where they are on the Navy Racks video.
