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."

Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 355-356.

Every single question that is asked is important

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Hi SailorMom93, Glad to hear another sh9 div355 loved one on board. My SR is from Arizona actually so he is also a long way from home. It seems to take 4 days for the mail to reach us from when it was sent to recvd. I send him a letter every day. It is good to have the knowledge of your SR's strength and smarts to back him up. Stay on board for letter and phone call updates too. Hope to see all 355 ers at PIR...
