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."

Oops.. I meant all the SRs -- not Div 263 alone! I am beside myself with worry, anxiety, excitement and all kinds of emotions. I feel little disoriented - go ahead and make fun of me! I can't even type on the keyboard straight; my fingers are trembling. We are going to say special prayers this evening for the all the SRs and their families and near and dear ones. OMG I am rambling....
