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."

This is my daughters div :)
Does anyone know if the recruits do something special today or is it a normal day for them
My son is in this division also. My youngest daughters class wrote letters to him today. She is in 1st grade
Awe how sweet that is an awesome idea. I recieved my first letter today and I am very excited to have my daughter sound so positive and still excited
My sons letter was upbeat. I was glad to hear that after he wrote that he wanted to quit the first three days but I guess that is to be expected.
Oh I probably would have cried if mine had said that. Can't wait to see what the next one brings she did say that during her "starboard Watch" she onyl got 4 hours of sleep the whole 2 wks of doing it. Thats crazy stuff.
His letter was very positive as a whole. I was worried but my husband told me not to be because that just how our son is. He has to push past his comfort zone. He said that is was getting easier for him. Thank goodness. He did not get to sleep for the first 50 hours, we think that had a lot to do with his comment. I cannot imagine going that long without sleep, 4 hours in 2 wks. I think I would go crazy.
Lol I know I would. What is your sons school going to be after graduation??
Pensacola,FL AET
Lol so is mine. Do you know if it is ok to send my daughter another phone card and more stamps or does she need to buy them on base
I'm not sure. I sent him with 2 phone cards to boot camp. I am sending him stamps in my next letter.
my son is in this division also!! Nice to find people in the same one.
