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.

Trisha ---- most of the Sailors we ship to are "Needy" kids... meaning their COs give us the address because they are outstanding kids with NO support! And those are the kids that email me the most!!! Good for you sister!
KK - yes... and I knew that one of the deceased was a navy sailor and now Im seeing that two of them were.... ugggg any child taken so young breaks our heart military or not... of course! I think that if my husband (who packs heat at all times) would have just stood up and shot him right between the eyes! no questions asked he just would have. The times are evil.. but there are still soooo many good people in the world like US!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are good people... and our kids are toooooooooooo! we must continue to spread our GOOD out to the world.. and see what will come back!!!!!
