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.

Work, work, work, work,,,,,,,, back at it!!!! But with the things I'm feeling in the rt inguinal ligament (groin ligament), looks like the rehab doc might be right and I could end up with a chronic injury---rats!!!!! So looks like I really need to look into the Risk Management course/licensure/etc. to get a job that pays well and allows me to work close to home........
Got a couple of pics on our phones from J--he is stuck in SD right now, then they are doing a two week run with new flight folks, then who knows???? They still don't know if they are taking another 7 month deployment or not..........
Lydia, praying for D-man!!!! I know the radiation tx's just sap your strength and energy..........saw my father-in-law go through that...........he turned 91 yesterday!!! He's the WWII vet in the family--was a Navigator on a B-17 shot down 50 miles south of Berlin---we are losing those guys left and right...........
Loving the weather here!!!!!!!! Cooled down some and is much better!!!!!!
Well, gonna try to rest a little more before get up and go to work............
