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."

Surfnjenn I sent you a PM still no letter but I think that is because we are on the west coast. Takes longer. There is a group for the graduation date, Which most likely will be 09-19 and also a group for div 818 moms. Ours said he would call in 3 weeks so not expecting anything till then. :-( would be nice if it was sooner!

Aviation Mechanic, hope my letter comes today.

I haven't gotten my letter yet, either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for today! It looks like the ones that arrived 7/29 that will have PIR 9/19 are all Spec Ops in the 800 division but from what I've seen, the others that arrived 7/29 will graduate a week later on 9/26.
