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."

Hello Arkey, my son is in Div 141 and I got a phone call today! He sounded very happy, which took away some of my anxiety! He was able to call a couple other relatives and still call me back and chat. He told me that he had passed his swim test and it hasn't been as bad as he thought!I couldn't believe I got the form letter on Thursday and a phone call so soon! I hope that you get something soon!
