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."

Every single question that is asked is important

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

He was on ship 09 div 355. I call RTC to see if his graduation date changed and they said that if it did I would have gotten a phone call. So I don't know. Hopefully I'll find out more today because he told me that he has a scheduled call today so we'll see....

My SR said that they were moving on the 19th also. They moved to Ship 11 USS Kearsarge but no need to change address they will forward mail. Apparently it was just for repairs to USS Kennedy
