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."

Holy Mackeral! Then they have Captains cup on Saturday and Battle Stations on Sunday!! That's an awful lot to ask of these men and women. Did they do gas chamber yet? I haven't had a letter or call in a while. (I know no news is good news but...)

Some of the other DIV Mom are getting together and all wearing the same color! Anyone think this might be fun? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it is Friday...gosh I was hoping it was yesterday. I pray I don't get any calls till Monday! Remindes me of a song... ♪ Come mondayyyyy it'll be allright ♪ Well one thing about not sleeping I was up to hear the shuttle return last night! lol

Wendy...That's what I was thinking our Division doesn't really get to enjoy Captain's cup because of Battlestations is the next day. Plus it's a really busy weekend. I'm hoping to get a letter today that talks about last week and the gas chamber.
Parrothdgal...What are they wearing the same color for?
Burning blue candle tomorrow and lots of prayers that no one gets that phone call. And that everyone gets a call on monday.

No where?! The last picture I saw was the middle of May and I haven't seen any random pics in a week and a half!

I know someone asked where they went.

WHERE? I heard it was there but my SR was not in the DIV yet! :o( Copy paste it here!

I couldn't figure out how to do that (copy it) since it is under the RTC FB page in their pictures but the one with my SR in it (right behind the female RDC) is picture #196 of 1000. Dated 5/11/11. There may have been more but I haven't seen them. It is before they won any flags but definitely div 197
