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 son is in the same ship as well. When he called he stated that his Div was struggling, but maybe they tell all the divisions that so that they push harder.

andybug, some divisions take a few weeks to start working together, but the recruits usually figure out that things go better for them when they work together and do things the Navy way instead of their own way. By the next call or letter, things will hopefully be better.
