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."

Hi Tracy, Thank you for this update. I just got a letter from my son (ship 4 div 019), but he did not mention the date for the BS. He sounds like he is ready to graduate! Sounds like he is still struggling with a couple of things, but sounds like he will get through. Thanks again!

Hi Kathy! The letter I got was pretty lengthy and based on the information he gave me, they have been VERY busy! I'm sure your son is doing fine, and from what I hear the division has earned a few flags!! Yay =)

My son (Ship 04 Div 019) said their Battlestations will start on Monday Dec 13th. I see their brother division 020 is going tonight? Does that mean that the brother divisions aren't going together.

Some of these dates have yet to be confirmed. For Ship 04, Div. 19 & 20, we have received 2 different dates from more than one of those recruits. If these dates are not correct, we do apologize.
This is what we have from some of the letters, so far.

I've sent Wendi a message on her date. I got a message on FB that 900's were on Wednesday.

Thanks Tysmom, I'm thinking that she meant midnight, which would be Wed. a.m.

I saw on the RTC page on facebook that a date was Mon for div 19 &20. My letter just said that it was last thing to do and that 19 & 20 would be together.
