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."

Ship 12, Division 296
Hello. I'm the mom of an SR in this division. Anyone on here have children in the same division? This is my second experience with the military. My son is a Marine. My mom and I are planning our trip to Great Lakes and are just looking around on this site for helpful information and tips. So far, we've found a ton of info! You all are the best! Anyway......thanks.

THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER TO HEAR THEY COMBINE 2 DIV. MY SON SAID THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THE RECRUITS NOT DOING VERY WELL. SO NONE OF THEM GET TO CALL HOME BECAUSE THAT IS A REWARD.

Great! Where are you staying? We're staying at the Navy Lodge. Trying to find out what my SR wants to do while we're in town.

We are staying at Courtyard by Marriott. Are you attending Sarge's Meet & Greet on 9-13-12? I have a feeling my SR will want to have some social media time on his phone & laptop. We are going to just see what he feels like doing when we leave graduation. I told him we would do whatever he wants. Whether it is hang out at the hotel or go out to see the area. I don't care if I just watch him catch up on sleep. I am just so anxious to see him!

I've heard about the Meet & Greet briefly - where and when is it? We are flying in on the 13th. I am very anxious to see my girl, too!

We(my husband, son and parents) are also staying at the Navy Lodge. We aren't sure what we will do after Graduation either. Kind of figure we will give the kids some options and let them figure it out. We are going to Sarges meet and greet on thursday too.
