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.

BTW I'm thinking things may be lightening up in Div 818. The first few weeks no letters and even though I'm not getting a ton (ok I myself have only received 3, and yes I'm counting the first form letter) my younger son has just gotten 1, my mother 1 my sister, Rich's favorite aunt 1 and his best friend 1. 25 days until Meet and Greet :0)

hiphopmob my son is also a diver and said that he thought they would have the whole weekend also. Let's hope so
Lydia I'm thinking that you haven't received a letter this week because your wonderful thoughtful son is allowing all the other recruits to catch up to his letter count. lol It's gonna take a looooong time for Rich to catch up to 7 letters.
But seriously, maybe now he's feeling better and catching up on some of the things he missed while he was down. Keep that positive karma going. :)
