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.

Hello to pamom too!

Hi Kelly...I found you! Ladies, I am the Mom of an 818 9/1/2011 grad and Kelly and I became friends because she read about me and felt a kindred spirit. We have actually gotten to meet in person...what a God send she has been to me, especially in the rough beginning of things. My son was medically rolled Dec. 1 and was able to start back this week for phase one of BCT. I am sure most of you have long forgotten BCT and I look forward to reading about your world now.
