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.

My son's 24th birthday was July 16. Hard not to be together to celebrate. Still not sure when to book our flight home after PIR. Do we hope we'll be able to see them through Sunday?

Lydia, Just read Ben's Christmas letter, he is a great writer. Made me cry. Both you and Ben communicate your feeling well. Tristan said my text messages sounded sorta robotic, ouch. I am much more sensitive then I sound when I am writing...We will all have lots to celebrate.
