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.

Trisha That is so awesome for Ashley. I can picture her working in the medical field. ( I don't know how I guess I just feel that I know her with the video I've seen and her beautiful pictures) And for it to be in such an important position is awesome. I'm sure you are proud. As you should be. :)

We're so fortunate to have the wonderful Admiral Farragut Navy Academy in our own backyard here in St. Petersburg, FL. My son learned early on that slightly bending his knees & wiggling his toes during standing formations was the key to staying upright. Trisha - very impressed by your beautiful daughter.

Trisha-Ashleys-mom. Thank's for explaining all of that to me! I miss my son so much & can't wait to see him! My younger son is putting up with extra hugs from & for Mom lately! I am looking forward to hearing about Ashley's awesome job at the hospital too!

Only posting this here......and PIR 818 not Boot Camp moms - tooo tendar...just got a call from Ben - 15 min to taps - that is weird dont you think ---maybe he earned it somehow????? He is sick as a dawg not the splints just the crud.... stress Im sure - I did not want to post it tho - too many moms worried about lice and appendectomys and so many more sevear probs .... he was discouraged but when I asked him about his splints he would not answer directly -- just said he WILL grad with 09/02 and it was not his decision???? weird... dont know. he only had 5 min to talk and softly at that/// He said he really likes his DPRs?? Not sure what to make of it?? He is tired and sick - but usually well spoken.... ?? well - Im pressing forward on his word! making my reservations tomorrow...

And I'm hoping that our Sailor doesn't hit the floor!!!!

Trisha-Ashleys-mom. I am SO not looking forward to seeing some Sailors hitting the floor! I have heard about this before but why does this happen? Because they are just so exhausted I bet....right?
