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.

All ---Ben called 2 times today I missed him :o( he did get his sister... she said he said it was a "special situation" or something like that call??????? He is sick as a dog still and splints are really bad... they allow him to ice them at night before bedtime is all. He swears he will make it grad on the 2nd! Please moms pray as we already all have been for each other... No letter.... that what makes me wonder if he is in the hospital or whatever and just not telling us?? They cant write then I think ??? I dont know....dazed and confused right now --- okay signing off again back later or tomorrow ... HUGS moms / wives / sisters

Good Morning ladies, I like the color crimson. I went and saw The Other Guy with my son last night. It was funny. Today we are off to Seafair. They will be having hydroplane races and the Blue Angels will be performing. No matter how many times I see them fly, I am always amazed. Enjoy your day!

Good Morning My Friends,
It's 7:30am Have to get my fix before I head off to work. My husband woke me at 7:00. Discovery Channel has a show on BUDS. Watching while I'm chatting hear. God Bless those Men.
Trisha Thank you again. Great Info I didn't realize Chicago was an hour and a half ride. But I can walk 7 blocks (as long as it's not 29 flippen degrees below zero)

Trisha Thanks that is great information. Especially the weekend train pass. How long is the train ride and is the station in Chicago within walking distance to alot of the sites? Especially interested in Navy Pier I'm thinking.
Thanks for the info.. I HAVE to go to bed now or I'll be here all night :)
