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."

I briefly spoke with my son Robert (Robey) thursday and he said that div. 299 received/earned 2 flages. 1 academic and 1 for physical fitness! so they finally are working together as a team (according to him) and doing well. He sounded like they are through the hardest part and he is starting to enjoy it more. He also wrote some awesome things and I'm so happy and proud of him. Hope all of you are having a good day and I hope the mail is coming today! less than 4 weeks to go.
