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."

Got my call! he was able to talk for an hour! Since this was the only call he has been able to make, I had a ton of questions. He said they got soooooo close to Hall of Fame but didn't make it. He is still very proud of the division and how much they were able to accomplish. I am ready for Friday to be here right now! Patience has never been my strong point :)

Hi everyone! I am not internet literate. I've been taking comfort from all your information for the last couple weeks, and finally had some news to share last Friday. I didn't realize I was approved to N4M until just now. By now, you all know Battlestations was last night.
Anyway, I received the "I'm a Sailor call" today also, and it was so great to talk to my son for so long.
A couple of you seem concerned whether everyone passed. I don't know that exact answer, but my son said two guys had not passed the initial swim tests in week 6. They have now passed and re-joined the division. He said they didn't get to do Battlestations last night, but will get the opportunity tonight. So if those are your boys, keep up your prayers -- and hopefully you'll get your calls tomorrow!!
Congratulations everyone! We get to see our men soon!!

Hello Moms! This page has been so quiet since PIR! I'm sure we're all breathing a sigh of relief! Now that I've caught my breathe, I thought I'd ask if anyone got any good pics of DIV 312, would you please share? Please friend me and let me know!! Thanks and Congrats to you all!!!
