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."

KrevonsMom, I'm sorry to hear of your SR's change. I know how hard you're taking it and can only imagine how hard it is for your son. But if I have learned one thing in this whole BC experience, it's that things happen for a reason. You'll both be that much stronger. I just wish strength didn't come at such a high price. Best wishes to you both, you're in my prayers.

Hey all Div 284!! Our Division is doing great!!! They had zero safety violations on the Marlin Spike and then had time left!! It sounds like our division is better than the brother Division. My Recruit says his friends are Martin, Dorsey, Fuller and Holden. Anyone know any of these?

Can' believe it's 13 days till PIR! Got another letter yesterday. It was damaged,so we couldn't read all of it. Sound like they are doing well. I guess we can take their cell phones and laptops and ipods to airport and give them to them when they're on their way to A school
