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 13 DIV 293
Hello:
I've been receiving letters about the division from my son. He says that their division is bonding and there's a sense of brotherhood within their group. He also stated that on some nights (I believe on Sundays) they've been having great heart to heart talks, singing, rapping, free-styling just to wine down and get things off their chest. He stated that there's a lot of Corpsmen in this division with the same aspirations. He stated that their RDC is a Master Chief, the highest enlisted rank, so their division is lucky. He says they are eating well and so far everything's going great. He also said that his bunkmate is from New York. I just wanted to share some things with everyone who has a SR in this division. I hope to hear stories from any and eveyone and hope to meet some of you on grad date 9/14! Stay encouraged and God Bless!
PS: I missed his first call on Saturday, did any of you receive a call?

Thank you so much MamaLama!! I appreciate your prayers and encouraging words. I'm trying to think positive, I told myself maybe this is just a tactic (telling him to make a quick call home and possibly not graduating) in hopes that this will get him to pass his run. Thanks again for your support!
