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."

Hi, my daughter is in Ship 07 DIV 187 as well.

I received the letter letting us know her address and graduation date, but I haven't heard from her at all.

I got two letters in the mail today from my son-- same division as your daughter. My boy avoided writing his entire life and his grades showed it, but apparently he's got way more to talk about now, and no other way to say it!

Maybe soon for you, Looks like he started writing on the 12th and it got here today. His grandma got one too. Seems like he's been able to write at night before bed. He's doing well, happy and working hard and sort of humorous about all the difficulties (eg-- we did squats until we couldn't stand up anymore and then we had to do more because we weren't standing up! And I signed up for laundry because I thought it'd be easy ha ha. --he's been doing laundry since he was 12-- but not for 75 people!

Hope you hear soon!
