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."

Did everyone get a call from their SR on Saturday? My SR called Saturday morning. He is very homesick but he is also doing pretty good. Says he is having trouble marching, he passed his swim test and he is the RPO for the division which is a Religious Petty Officer. Said the guys in 043 were nice and got along. Said the division would like to be the best division, so they want to work hard and everyone do well. Which is good. It is great they are already working together. I feel better since talking to my SR. Take care everyone. Hope they were able to write letters this week. Also hope our letters get to them this week.
