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 09 Div 417
Hello Everyone..
This is my second time around, have a Corpsman (ship02div907 2012) in C school in Tx. So PROUD to say my other son has also joined the Navy.. Looking forward to another graduation...

My second time around as well:) Our other son is in California and is an AD - builds & rebuilds F18 engines. Our current SR is also a corpsman and will be heading to A school in TX. Any tips?

OH, I am so sorry! I am assuming he needed perfect credit for that rating?

I guess.... im sure everything happens for a reason. He said they get phone calls in 2 days. I hope so. ..

YAY YAY YAY, I can't wait to hear his voice! And, yes, I agree, everything does happen for a reason and something good will come out of this for your son. He can always change his specialty down the road as well.

I can't wait to really talk to him. He scored super high on the asvab so I'm sure he will get into something he will like. All i can do is write him letters of encouragement. I hope our divisions get to call soon. ..

What does "Brother Divisions" mean? That they all do everything together? That they're next to each other in the barracks? If 418 get's calls, does 417?

The only thing the brother divisions do is sleep in the same barracks as far as I know.
