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."

I also read that there was a guy who arrived to Great Lakes April 12 and is also graduating 6/3. I dont know his div yet but I know that performance div are hard to fill. So it could end up being that our div took awhile to fill and that tomorrow will be starting their "week 2" out of processing.. in this case we wouldnt be getting phone calls not this coming week but the week after :(. Im not 100% though so don't hold me to that. But thats just what im gathering. If this is the case though then they would mail out today so we should be getting letters this week. If anyone else heard anything let us know :)

I hope that is the case Richelle instead of trouble in their division. I have aa friend that was an instructor and he said all it took was one person to screw up and they would punish the whole division. So I sure hope it took a while to fill our division!!
