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.

A wonderful Prayer from Sara-PIR 9/2
Dear Lord
Praying our recruits are coming together as a team, looking out for each other and becoming the mentors and the sailors they've chosen to become.
I pray peace and comfort for the parents of the recruits it's hard to not know what they're going through to become a part of the United States Navy.
Guide the RDC's as they shape and teach our children to become better men and women into sailors, they have a hard job and need comfort from you also.
I pray this in Jesus name;
and all who read this
AMEN

Good morning my Friends,
So glad to hear things are "better" even if still a little uncertain. I want to put up a countdown clock like they have on PIR 9/2 site but am afraid I am toooooo computer challenged. I've tried. I went on the site a couple times and am afraid to click on too many things because I've had computer virus' before. It's supposed to be free but nothing is free in my book. Sorry ladies. Have a great day all. Gonna try and clean my house today. Sounds like fun right?
