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.

You know I was thinking about that richsmom and I think that I will drive, that way I have a bit more flexibility. The only downside will be 15 hours in the car with 2 kids....I will be investing in many dvd's haha...I think my in-laws are considering the same thing. Any thoughts?

Hi Lydia, richsmom, kk, - I'm starting to think of you all as my girls! :) hahaha I talk about you guys and I use your screen names my family thinks I've lost it!!! So I've started calling you "the girls". I can't wait to meet you all! Have a superb weekend I will be checking in!

CKH That does make sense to me and I know you want to make plans but I don't think we're going to know anything yet. Rich sounds really busy in his letter and phone call. You notice I didn't put plural. I've only gotten one of each. :(

Oh- I forgot to mention that when I called about Grad&Go they said that the div would leave on Saturday, so I think that means they either have to be checked into GL by Saturday and have their orders Or depending on where they are going and doing they get on a plane. I hope that makes sense.
When I talked to my husband yesterday he said that he has not received any graduation information yet. He didnt even know that he was Grad&Go. I don't know if that means he has his head in the sand or they are still doing crappy and graduation is not on the radar yet. I dont know. If anyone has any 818 graduation info please share. XO

Hi hiphopmob- My husband is also a diver candidate and will be staying in GL after PIR. Just an FYI I spoke to a current Navy Diver the other day, one of my husbands best friends, and he said that dive prep can last anywhere between 3 and 5 weeks and is RARELY less than that. I just wanted you all to know. Hope that helps
