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 a letter yesterday. He talked about how great thier DIV is doing in all the competions. He said their DIV was stacked with so much smarts and talents that they have a good chance of beating out the Seal DIV in competion and that only happens maybe 3 times a year so it would be like getting the chance for them to be a Hall of Fame DIV. He said they will be extremely busy with fire fighting school, gas chamber, captains cup and lots of athletic competions this last week and sounded very confident about everything. He said he really likes his RDC and that he has been learning alot from him. I'm so proud of them and counting the days till we can see them!

Hello!! My nephew is in Ship 12 Div 353. Haven't heard from him since we left the Great Lakes during his liberty. Does anyone know if they can have their cell-phones, and computers now? We want to ship them out to him, but not sure when, or if he can have them. Thanks!!
