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 Everyone with SR's in 229 and 230. My son is in 230. He will be going to Pcola for CTN Training. That is Cryptologic Technician - Networking, I believe.

Yes. We will be at PIR. So excited! I think we are going to try to make it to Sarge's meet and greet too. My SR is going into Master at Arms. I think it's kinda like police training.

Hello! Hope everybody is doing well. My son is in Division 230. He will be heading to Groton, CT after PIR, which is kind of funny since that was my first duty station 24 years ago. Wonder how much it has changed.
