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 looked back at her old posts and I believe she's with Div 323...I was trying to figure out the same thing.

Did anyone else from ship 6 Div 946 call home this weekend? I read that Tifani got a call from her son. I sure hope I didn't miss a call. It was nice to see that her son told her the Div was doing really well.

is so excited. We got to hear from our son yesterday. It was the best feeling ever. He said his division is doing very well and that hell week just finished last week and that it wasn't that bad. He sounded so upbeat that it made me so happy :o). He also sounded more grown up then ever before. It just made me feel so proud. I hope everyone else got calls too. So glad the days are going to go by fast so that we can see him soon.

Just checked through some past PIR BStations schedules to see when 800 group goes. Many didn't have an 800 group (my son's didn't). But the 2 that I found....one went the first night, one went the last night. So....go figure! Being special ops, I'm sure there are factors in there we don't know about. So we for sure need to hear from a lady with an spec ops recruit to know when they are going through BStations!!
