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'm so glad everyone is getting their phone calls!! Come on Div 155 & 156! Let's be next! I warned my Zumba instructor that I'm keeping my phone on during class and if it goes off I'm hightailing it out of there!

navygirlfriend: The calls are random so there is no telling when a division may call and how long a call will be. It is up to their RDCs and how much time they have to make the calls. Just be ready at any time!
