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."

Hello Pebbles, yes, my daughter is on ship 02, Div 915, PIR 3/2. I don't know how she ended up in the "elite" group. She "used to" play the flute 4 or 5 years ago, but I don't as she'd remember how. She did get a decent ASVAB score, had decent grades in school, and has played 3 sports for 6 or 7 years. She is 5'7" tall too, someone said this is a "taller" group, no clue really. I guess I'll find out when she calls. My Cousin was in the Navy in a 900 division also, he said it could be how well she adapted to Navy life that frst week too.

Yes 900 division is that of the performers musically inclined, or flags etc. I am not sure what else it may include. We are in Everett, WA.
