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 everybody! My boyfriend is in DIV 089. I'll be at PIR with his family, his A school will be in Pensacola. I pray we all get calls tomorrow and letters soon! As for the pizza if you were to be flying in, while he was still in the airport he told me they ate Chicago style pizza to celebrate. I'm not sure of the name of the place but he seemed to enjoy it. Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas!
