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."

Air Rescue Swimmers Ship 4 Division 814
When we start getting letters it would be nice to share what our recruits are saying since they each will probably tell different things about how it's going at GL. What do you think?
My name is Tammy.
