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."

Thanks. I got a call from her last night. She said she was in a "Push" division and was changed from 09 to 12. I wonder if 263 and 264 are sister divisions.

Yep, 263/264 are brother divisions! Guys and Girls training together!
They change ships many times because of maintenance that has to be performed on the Ships periodically....with new sailors moving out and other SRs moving right back in, there is not much time to do this without closing them down. The Division number is the important one....the mail will get to your SR!
