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."

YaY!! Another call from my husband. The mail officer still hasn't pick up his letters, Hopefully they will pick it up tomorrow. It was so nice to hear his voice. I got a whole 20 mins. He has a cold but he's tough so I'm not too worried.

Got a call from my sailor this morning. He sounded great! He said they are getting letters but he hasn't had time to mail any. He plans on mailing the ones he's written tomorrow. He also said his div is kind of noisy so they are getting real good at push ups. Hearing that he is doing so well has been a tremendous boost to my mother's heart!

Forgot to mention - he assured me they have more than enough cold weather gear and everything but marching is done indoors.

“Push Division” – Usually the last division in a TG is designated or called a push division. My son was in a push division. They are the last division to join the TG and they have to be “pushed” or hurried up to catch up with the others.
