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.

richsmom - I have been printing out stuff from these links such as week to week at bootcamp and sending it to him. I told him the greatest way to defeat your enemy is to know all about him (enemy being boot camp and successfully graduating it) Dont forget to friend me I have something Id like to ask you off line....

Lydia Thanks I was just on the G&G site. You know this place is becoming an obsession. I can't get any work done. I try walking away from the computer but within a few minutes come running back. Ha I maight wind up knowing more than my recruit. LOL

CKH I just read YES to your question about cell and laptop on the GnG site - but with specifics - go to that site and you will see.... Look up on GROUPS that site is listed in there.

Comment by richsmom (Div 818 PIR 9/2/10) 1 second ago Delete Comment CKH When you say check into base after graduation for the G&G's that are staying in GL, do you mean immediately?

Thank you ladies for the good info. My son is staying in GL for a month after BC so CKH that info does help. I'd like to know if I can bring his phone and laptop but I guess I need to be patient. When I spoke to him on the phone for those few minutes he told me it was 1 1/2 months away. He'd let me know. Ha Ha He doesn't quite have the same sense of urgency as me. I guess he has other things on his mind. LOL

Lydia, Thank's for the info but I am still going to wait to hear from my son about that....it may be correct but it may also change who knows.
