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 son just join the Div. He was in another div but got set back because he failed the written exams. He does really bad on written test. Maybe the div could get a study group together. He is a knows it but freezes on tests. He did great on the pt test.

Welcome Annette, Glad to have your son with the rest of our boys. We only have a few on here from our division so the more the merrier. Hope he finds some to study with...maybe he just needed a change. Sending good thoughts his way :)

Thanks for the welcome. I thinks my son is happier with this div. He was so close to his graduation. But test need to get passed. I have all the confidence that he will but he has to feel the same way. Thanks for the good thoughts for my son and I send them all the divison.

I know it must be frustrating to both him and you to be set back, but in the end it will all be worth it. Are you going to graduation? Was it a huge hassle to change plans?

I want to but I am not sure. He had plans to marry is girlfriend when they were both home. She graduates tomorrow from boot camp. There was a small window when they were going to get married and now the window is close. They both have plans to be in Japan, they could get married over there. But when does the Navy keep their word. lol
