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.

KK - Im not sure if I should laugh or cry.... First of all... yes C and D will be fine and yes I believe!!!!!!!! As I said ... sometimes it is in the quiet moments that the soul has a chance to recover and renew... I love those quiet times... I go out on my deck and I smell each rose.. I smell each flower.. I look up and watch the birds building their nests.. smell the fresh air... I see the quiet still of the lake.. the blue of the sky and suddenly I feel hope... hope is somthing that you can actually feel.. its when your heart does a 180 and you mind catches up to it... NOW... OMG honey... 3 was feeling the spring fling thing... but geepers... I rememeber last year... so be careful until they get the spring out of them!!! Hang in there my dear sister!!!! God is GREAT and life is good... challenging no doubt but good!!!! My hope love and prayers are on top of the wind!! for your C and my D!!!!! and ALL our families!
