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."

Hi, my son is in 9/393, will go to SC for A school. He called last Saturday and I am hoping for a letter tomorrow. We have made plans to stay at the Ramada in Waukegan because it has a pool and is near Sarge's meet and greet.

Hello everyone. I have a son that is with SHIP 09 Div 394. I am unsure where he will be at the end of graduation but I believe it will be Great Lakes. I received a letter today and was encouraged. I believe he is going to be a very dedicated sailor when these tough weeks are over. We hope to attend the Sarge's meet and greet on the 17th. Where is everyone staying while at graduation?
