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.

Good Morning Everyone! I thought I would put it out there as by the time I sit down at the computer at night almost everyone has went to bed and I usually don't have time in the morning to get on at work. I love reading all your posts! Enjoy your Tuesday!

Thanks for the support ladies! My son has a viral infection in his GI tract so basically, yuck! He should be fine in a few days and then I might sleep for a few...yea right! :) I miss talking to you guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I am constantly praying and hoping that all our guys are kicking butt. I know they are. They are strong and smart and will make it through this with flying colors. No news is good news. Love to you all. Nighty night

Just wanted to tell you all that last Friday my son did a favor for an RDC & in return was granted a phone call to his brother so he could wish him a happy birthdday! Made everyone's day! Now I wish I knew what was happening during HELL WEEK!
