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 spoke to Sarge and he said tables are small and Recommended a "sign" be made so that we can hang by our area so people know where the Division is setting. Those that are able to attended. anyone intested in making a sign. not sure how big.
something fun simple: suggestion

Got a long call from my SR son!!! He's Ship 3 Div 157. Keep your phones close! Got to talk for almost an hour! He's great. Said they're currently in hell week. But I didn't hear any complaints. They did live fire yesterday I think. They got an academic flag! He's passed all of his test so far. He said at graduation he wants to sleep!
