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 Ladies! Today is Trivia Tuesday on the US Navy Recruit Training Command FB page. Sometime this morning, they will post a question. The first correct answer is rewarded with a picture of the division of their choice. These questions are hard and take some quick research. If we all give it our best try, we will increase are chances and may get lucky. If you have the time and are willing to help, thank you. I know some of you may not, so just send your positive thoughts n energy! Thank you again, so close to the end!!

wkelly, I asked my son what his flag looked like and responded with ???! Does anyone out there have the suspicion that our divisions may call today? I was up most of the night thinking about my son going through his "final test"! Please, please let us know if anyone is receiving calls! My land line is not working today because of the storms (just my luck)!! Hopefully they can get it fixed today! Less than a week and a half away!!!!

My son wrote and said the flag looked "cool" and that is all I got out of it! Ugh! He is in the 225 too and said they should have done their PFA's today the 16th and the Battle stations should be the 17th! So calls should come sometime Friday afternoon.....fingers crossed!!!

I received my letters today with some great news! So proud of my son! I was a little worried that today would be the day he would call because our phone was broken (it's working now)! Be prepared for phone calls on Friday around 1!
