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."

Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Are you all grossed out by me now too??? I've had folks from church complain--I wanted to honor Apollo and also explain he is gone.....we miss him, but both of us (Joe and I) know we made the right decision. He was too big to be sold as a "pet" and ate too much to keep (two scoops of grain feed/day plus hay). That all adds up....
I love you guys!!! Don't hate me!!!!!!!!!

Apollo, April 28th, 2011--the day after his birth......
Apollo on Oct 7th, 2012--the day he was taken for processing (happen the next day....) RIP Apollo!!! We will see you round the table.....
Seems a little crass....we did and do love him, but we can't continue to feed him!! He was at the right age and weight (about 180 pounds!!!) and we do have a FARM!!! Still, I miss the old boy......
