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.

Lydia, I was thinking about that myself. I think Kelly is right, our guys are doing quite a bit more. Also, I was slightly surprised by all the info on the other site lately, aren't they supposed to keep the majority of what is happening to themselves, didn't they all have to sign something? I was just curious what do you think?

Lydia, You have to remember that 818 is held to a higher standard than the other divisions & that I believe they have a more grueling schedule than the others too. And the fact that they still have some big mouths in their div that get them all in trouble!

Lydia, thanks so much for letting us know about Craig's Hell Week post. Definitely makes me feel closer to my son. Quite active discussions on the other site! Never thought to join both. Maybe I'll just continue to "visit" the general one. CKH, so happy to hear that good health is on the horizon. Hopefully only a few days away from another life-line letter! I'm envisioning the game show, "Who wants to be a millionaire." This site is our "phone-a-friend!"
