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! My son is Div 175 also. Still looking for a letter, I have recieved his form letter and so very anxiously awaiting a phone call...I always got onto him because he wouldn't ever put his phone down and when I recieved it in his box it broke my heart! That thing was his lifeline...and now I won't even go to the bathroom without mine! We are from Denison, TX. actually Bells but no one has ever heard of it. I would love to get to know some of you before PIR. This group of men and women will always have this bond and in sense we will also. I guess it just makes it easier for me to know some of you who are going thru the same emotions I am.

I am exactly the same way!! I live with my phone and am constantly double checking to see if the sound got accidently on. My heart broke when I say his phone too! My son is in Div 175 too. I still get emotional at times and every moment I'm thinking what is he doing now! You are not alone!

I got a call yesterday! It was only 2 minutes and it was because he needed info that he didn't bring with him. Either way, I'm happy to have gotten the call!
My husband is Ship 14 Div 175
