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."

being in a 900 division or in a performing division is very unique. there were a lot of added pressures and even more to learn and remember. if the sailor enjoys their position, though, it can also be an outlet

Also, my son said that the honor guard guys will get to change and come sit with their families after they perform. Don't know how true that is since I haven't heard it mentioned here but I sure hope so!! That would be soooooo nice!
