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!  it was suggested that i start a discussion for this DIV to see if any other Moms out there with their daughters with mine!  She left on 5/21 from Ohio and we have received her box of things and nothing else, but I am told that no news is good news!  Hope to hear from others soon!

As anyone heard any news about our division.   My son didn't wrtie last week, he wrote my neighbor :(.    I hope he writes this week, but according to the letter he sent my friend this is the week they retest.

i would also like to know if any one heard about our div. on my fb there is moms who said there are 4 girls from our ship/div who has been set back. No-one knows who they are. If it is our child would we of gotten a call by now? I still have not gotten a call from her since she got there, have only received 4 letters. she just tells me things are much better and she cant wait to see me but never tells me any thing eles. I'M GOING CRAZY NOT KNOWING.

     I am so doing the happy dance.  Just got two letters today from my son. he apologized for not writing, but said one letter dated June 19 was sent back and he didn't really get a definitative answer as to why it came back. Anyway...great news for all you Ship3 Division 218 7/13/2012 families.  They as of the 6/26 they have won 2 flags in Academics and PFA.His words were" we are kicking butt".  He was very worried  about there next test marching-saying that definitely was there weakest area.  They have/are currenty participating in weapons and marlinsspike.  There inspections went so well they are now allowed to march without RDC"s. 

im so glad there are others getting letters saying what is going on in there ship/div. i have only received 4 letters from my daughter and she doesnt tell me much. i still have yet to receive a call. the only way i know how this div is doing is by all you other parents. so PLEASE keep writting what you hear. Im still worried about her getting set back since she was sick for 3 weeks, but as of tonite i havent heard any-thing. Every-one tells me i would of known by now if she was set back. I so hope that is correct.
