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."

My son is also in ship 03 div 416- So far I have received 2 phone calls from my sr & received 2 letters from him. I miss him so much and looking forward to his graduation. He has 2 older brothers at home who both have learning disabilities & they both miss him so much & having a hard time adjusting to not having their brother around. My sr was so good to them & very compassionate towards his brothers. I'm so very proud of him! Can't wait to see my sailor. I'm new to this group & I'm so happy that I'm able to connect with someone that also has a loved one same ship and div. as my son.
