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."

Gina, your son can tell you who he put on the list. As for the password for the parking permit I think anyone of us could give you that, except I misplaced my form letter :\
My husband is also frustrated with the guys who are messing around and "messing it up for everyone" but i think the goal at this point is to get everyone to work as a team. Those guys won't put the whole division back though.

I'm burning up the pages writing those letters. Trying to think of something that he'd want to hear. Got my countdown on my phone and I look at it several times a day. (It is moving too slow!!) Hope to meet you guys there on 5/2.

Hey all! My husband is in Ship 13 Div 163, I heard from him the other day and he said things are going good! He said the RDCs are very nice but strict! He also said that he wasn't able to write a letter last weekend but hopefully will this weekend. He also said that they just received their letters that day (wednesday) or the day before, I can't remember. Hope everyone is doing well!
