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."

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on December 16, 2010 at 9:12am: Ladies -- Here's the thing about losing mail privliges, they may lose them to WRITE, but I do believe they're still able to RECIEVE. However, usually the divisions who lose a privlige, realize how bad it really sucks, and they pull it together, buck up, and make a team out of themselves. Battle Stations is the final test, the final time to prove they REALLY have what it takes. But you can't go it alone, it's a team thing. To do it alone - Impossible. It's a test of everything they've learned in a grueling night, no sleep. So they get grumpy, and get tired, and just wanna get it over with....guess who's gotta be there to pull through and support them(since you can't..) their TEAM. their DIVISION. their BROTHERS AND SISTERS. That is what they have to be able to KNOW they can rely on during that test. So look at it in a positive way, that maybe, just maybe PIR day you'll be seeing them there with the most sticks(flags) and standing proud because they've accomplished everything..not only as one...as a TEAM.

Comment by Karen Shp 11 Div 053 on December 16, 2010 at 9:08am: I'm still waiting and waiting and waiting for a letter or phone call....it's starting to get to me!!!! "Help me, help me"..."I'm melting" :)

Comment by Denise on December 16, 2010 at 6:51am: Thanks Lynne...can you tell us which division?

Comment by KLP0824 on December 16, 2010 at 2:33am: lynne- can you please tell me if it my hubby div please ans also since they arent able to write can they get mail

Comment by Lynne on December 16, 2010 at 2:23am: I have a little update about mail...one of the divisions in this PIR is not being allowed to send mail...because their division is not working together as well as the RDC would like. I know because a family member got a information call and the recruit was able to share...I am going to try and look at as many of your profiles as possible and let you know if your recruit is in that division. The mom, wisely, did not want the division or her recruit to get in trouble for giving out the info. and so told me. I am telling you so that if you don't get mail this week you don't panic...you understand it was a motivational issue. I am sorry ladies. Let's send those encouraging cards and letters to the recruits and get them fired up and motivated so those letters and calls can start coming in. I wouldn't mention this to them...just try to lift their spirits...

Comment by Lynne on December 16, 2010 at 2:18am: Kathy....I wuv you...lol and your 12 days of Christmas...which I have stolen to use in other groups...lol...but I will give you credit as the author....

Omg tricia...I thought the exact same thing when I heard that on the news...I am sicker than a dog...and hiding under the covers when suddenly the tell that story and I like emerged....whaaaaaat...and two of my son's friends are living with me (long story....I'm fun what can I say...lol) and they just started laughing because they hadn't seen my head in hours from the blanket on the couch...lol....and I sad wonder if that was a navy boot camp mom...and I laughed and laughed and they looked at me like perhaps I was delerious with a fever...lol
