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.

K ladies, I am ready for a little competition too. I am sure all of the boys will have their strong point. Swank has been around firearms all his life. we all hunt. Lydia, My man went to the AM VETS last night for wings. That's funny. I decided to stay home from BINGO so I can chat with you ladies. It is funny how talking to all of you makes me feel closer to Swank.

well - Id say it depends on their upbringing.... but with the Spec Ops guys - they are pretty good at everything or they would not have qualified to get into the program - all with different tallents of course. Ben said he is among the top swimmers, perhaps your son may be top marskmanship, another running - sooo Im sure there will be competition! hahahah :o) you know these guys!

My son's girlfriends received her letter yesterday & I received a great letter today! He's a diver - Grad & Go. Although he doesn't want me to "quote him," he thinks they get the whole weekend off. Should know definitely for the next letter (or phone call).Told me his favorite foods - all healthy carbs! Physical strength & endurance is vital! He's so excited that firearms & firefighting is here. My background is law enforcement and my son & I are very competitive on the range. Wish I was the fly on the wall!

Hi Ladies, Ive been out of town and following everything from my i-phone. WOW has alot been happening. I tried to comment on so many things but my phone was acting very strange. I could read your comments but not send mine. Maybe someone was trying to tell me something. Anyway I was and still am rooting for everyone. It seems like more letters are coming to just about everyone. We got a letter yesterday as did my younger son and sister. Rich sounds a little better. Can't wait to get to the fun stuff like weapons and gas chamber. Let's see if he still thinks it's fun after he does it. 3 1/2 seeks to go. Yee ha!!! Missed you all and welcome to the new ladies I haven't met yet.
