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."

Ship 09 Div 209
Ok, I just got my form letter and my daughter is in this division. Since one was not started for this group, thought I would start it! I am so excited to start writing letters and passing her address to the 25 family members that want it! LOL Anyone else in this division? My daughter left on Tuesday 5/8 from Cleveland MEPS!

Received the first letter from our SR yesterday! What a relief to finally hear from him. He is doing OK! Of course, if you follow orders, your time in boot camp goes fairly good. He said the food is not bad, the Navy keeps them busy all day long, but the early to bed, early to rise is a killer (he is a confirmed night owl!).
