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."

He says things are going good for their Div and they have all passed all assesments so far.Live fire was monday and and they had test 2 (?) They have a flag that he really likes and has ordered shirts and hoodies for his family. Sorry if this bored some but I thought I would let Div 851 know alittle bit of whats up.

I did find out that a single room is 79.00. Be careful because there are 2 Residence Inns In the Chicago area and the one is much more expensive..It is farther away from base.
