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 am trying to scan all the posts (but it is little awkward the way they are sorted by the system), has anyone in ship 11 div 172 received a letter yet?
If so what training day are they on and any news to share with those of us starved for info? :-)

I got a letter!!
It is five sentences long.... She said she literally had two minutes to write the letter, she is super sore, super busy and what really, really upsets me is she says she has not gotten ANY letters from me, though others have gotten letters. I have sent out 5.....

I'm glad you got your letter no luck for me so far mailman is taking forever :( that is strange since my fiancée is in the same div and received all the letters I have sent him so far, I wonder why she's not getting them, let's hope she gets all five of those letters soon!
