OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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.

Lydia - Wicked is a Broadway Musical - www.wickedthemusical.com. "The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in." I'm a Wizard of Oz freak. Goes back to high school drama when I played the cowardly lion. Funny that I became a police officer!

Lydia, That's my story too and i'm sticking to it, but ops I just mailed a letter and said the words "--- chamber" didn't know I wasn't supposed to say it. LOL Funny asked about a lot of things in my letter and he answered everything, with no mention of Hell week. Do you think they weren't supposed to talk about it? I am not a politically correct person, oh what the heck. I am on FB if anyone wants to keep in touch, I would love it.
kerrymcq25- Great show. welcome aboard

LOVE Wicked & all the songs. Favorite is Defying Gravity. Always makes me want to conquer the world! My son's a certified firefighter & is really looking forward to this experience. The three calls we've been fortunate to have received (not counting that initial 10 second one) lasted about 5 minutes each. At pre-diver & A school they can have their phone. Maybe we'll donate this 20 hour phone card.
