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.

Observation-Have you all noticed that we don't have any SEAL moms on here. I wonder if they were told not to get on this site. I know that they can not post pictures. I wonder if there are SEAL recruits in their division?

Good Sunday morn moms... Did not get much sleep last nite up early now - so many questions going through my mind now. Question of the day for me is - if the Air Rescue guys are leaving (Pensacola) at 2am Friday morning - that must mean the flight is chartered??? That means we do not get to wait at the airport with them and give them their laptops and cell. Just wondering out loud? Im happy to see him if only for a few hours - heck Im just praying he gets through hell week. anyway moms/wives - yall and your letters and the best info especially as I did not get one this week and his phone call yesterday really did not say much as far as info other than he is still real sick. tkx moms/wives

Kelly-Do you know how long his A school is?

Kelly-even if you only get to spend 1 night with him after attending the ceremony it will be a day to remember. They are so proud of what they have accomplished! After A school they usually get to take leave before they head off for their first duty station.
