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."

My daughter called at 3:35 Central time on Wed May 25th. Div 187. Phone call was 20 minutes, Seems like that may have been the standard time for the call. I could hear the PO in the background yelling out how much time they had left to talk.
Said that they missed breakfast and went for a double lunch. Said that they did not get done with the whole process until around 10 AM.

mmiles my sone is Ship 11 Div 186 also!!! I haven't received a call, but he may be calling his girlfriend/fiancee instead, which is fine, I just want to know if he passed and is now a Sailor!!!! His girlfriend/fiancee works in a school system, and so do I, so I really don't know when she will receive the call if he's calling her. So has EVERYONE in 186 passed??? I've been anxious all day to hear if he passed or not!!! YEEEEE!!!
