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."

Hello.  Anyone out there with the same div?  My daughter left for BC on the 24th of May.  I received her box on Tuesday and it was hard not to cry.

When does she graduate. My son is in Ship 12, Div 231 and will PIR 22 July 11. We are staying at the Navy Lodge.
I think maybe July 22 but not sure. Haven't received the form letter yet.
My daughter is!!!  I got a letter from her today.  She says this is a push division so they possibly will graduate before the 22nd.
Hang in there, I have been on an emotional roller coaster since my daughter, Presley, left on May 24.  Her letter said all they have done is study and eat!  She said they kept them up for the first 48 hours.  She said all she could do was cry and wish she was home.  She said after that she picked herself up and has been fine since then!  She said I cant believe the change in me already, I saw my reflection in a window and I didnt even recognize myself!  She said don worry, Im gonna be fine!
What is a push division? I know my girl was probably the same way!
