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."

Hi Pulliam1991 my son is ship 12 DIV 42 no calls since the 1st and 2 short letters so far. He did say that they little time to write. I was really hoping for a call today too. I know exactly how you feel. Are you able to go for Thanksgiving?

Does anyone have a son or daughter in DIV 041? I'm so nervous & waiting on that last call. My daughter was having trouble with the swim test, but I've been constantly praying that she has accomplished it & moved on to the last days of training. I'm excited & nervous all together.

My son was having trouble with the swim test and was moved to another division. I received the call last night he passed. If you did not receive a call that she was not graduating that is good news. No news is good news...

Troubles passing the swim test are usually due to the prone float test. Many SRs have the issue of "no fat to float". :)

Your daughter will be given the help needed to accomplish it. If you haven't heard from her by now, chances are she has passed, and is headed in to the final stages of training.
