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."

Hello. My son is from Ship 09 Div 087. This is the first I have heard that they are combined with Div 088. I sure do miss him! I want to wish all of you with loved ones in Boot Camp a Merry Christmas! I hope we get a call today.

I'm hoping we do get a call today and it would be nice if it was tonight. Both me and my husband are working and I'm sure dad would like to be able to say hello also. Merry Christmas!

Well folks, no phone calls. I read somewhere that the only ones permitted to call were the ones who will be graduating in 2 weeks. I hope, at least, that the recruits got a chance to get to know each other better.
