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."

Division 396...what day did your son/daughter arrive at GL? My son arrived evening of 8/20. So far I've received "the box", form letter and initial I'm here call. I noticed a Recruit Training Website on FB which has a contest called Trivia Tuesday, if you’re the first one to guess correctly you can request a picture of your recruits division be posted on the website. For those of you that have time to participate in the contest, it would be a great way to see a picture of our loved ones. I plan to participate…just an idea to hopefully get a peek at their Division.

I tried to answer the trivia question. I found the answer and went to submit it and the other mother had just gotten it. I was so disappointed. Next Tuesday I am trying again. Good Luck!! I hope one of us in 396 makes it. I would love to see my son....

Do you know what time of day they usually post the trivia question? Maybe with several of us trying we might get lucky and win. I'd love to see a picture of 396. Yep, I hope calls go out tomorrow. If I get a call this weekend I'll let everyone know.
