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."

Div 818 PIR 9/2
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 everyone, No call for me either, I have had only one 7 second call and that was July 29th. I sent him 4 /500 min phone cards in his first letter. I received one letter a week almost every week. Since no one from 818 has gotten a call maybe it is part of their personal program -- OK --so I am being optimistic. I think, hope, and pray that they are all doing good and counting the days til BC is over, just like us. My son said in his last letter. " I always miss home and every single person ever, I'll never take anyone for granted again. We all agree on that and it feels like we get a second chance at life. LOL" I know he has been changed for the better and for good. Since we are on a movie theme today has anyone seen "Wicked" love the song" For Good", though I changed it around a bit.

Well just got back from the movies with my younger son. We had a great time. We saw The Expendables.. Good flick. I cant wait to see my young sailor. I love the countdown clock just wish it was moving a little faster.
kk- hope you had a great day with the horses. My broker does saddle bred. What type do you have? I haven't sent my son any more calling cards I figure I haven't gotten the first call so he must still have all his minutes..
hiphopmob2- hope you get the A/C fixed 3 calls wow you are so lucky.
Lydia- I think your timing for the 25 is about right. hope you are having a great weekend. What movie did you see?
Kelly59- hope you had a great day at the beach..
