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."

Hi tzmom Div 104 -- there was a post about the baskets on the Facebook page too -- I'm having a hard time keeping track of both sites! : ) Anyhow -- I posted on the Facebook page that I would do a "Top Gun" gift basket of military movies. I thought that would be fun!

Fridays have become my favorite day because that's when I usually get my letter! The one I got today was dated Feb. 16th and four pages! He said he's gotten 100s on all his inspections, and everyone calls him 5-0 lol. I'm so proud! Also, he said he's one of the six section leaders. I think he forgets I have no idea about Navy terms, so I frequently have to Google while reading his letters lol.
He also said their division (103) will be one of the first to march on graduation. He said try to sit on the right facing where they stand.
I hope everyone else heard from their SRs today!
