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."

Hi Monica, I'm Crystal. You have a daugher in Ship 09/Div 131? If so, I have a son there - I guess it is a co-ed division. My son's name is Robby. Nice to meet you. There is also another January Boot Camp group on Navy 4 Moms. I've been visiting that one as it had more people. But I guess I will need to visit both groups.

Hi Crystal, Yes my is in Ship09/Div 131 also. I guess I didn't think about the possibility of a co-ed division but I guess it is. I will check out the other Jan Boot Camp group. Let's keep in touch.

In my photo, the one on the left is my son in this group. The one on the right will be graduating on 2/12 from Boot Camp - both of my young men will be Sailors!

Congrats to you!! Two fine young men. I wish I could get my 20 year old son to go but he won't. I am praying that maybe he will change his mind.

Hi All and Happy Valentine's Day. We have arrived home from our youngest son's PIR. It was wonderful. Our son is happy and looks great. He put on around 20 pounds. He was slender and is still slender - now he is buff. He actually loved his boot camp experience and has a new family - his shipmates! I'm not saying boot camp was easy - it wasn't. But he loved the hard work and the testing of his abilities. When you write your Recruit please remember to be positive and encouraging. They are being tested and trained to be Sailors in the United States Navy.
We received our first real letter from Robby before we left. Hopefully we will receive a phone call soon. -

How is everyone doing? Has anything been said about a Meet & Greet yet? We heard from Robby earlier this week and he is doing well. He sounded a bit sick and said he had been sick since the shots. Nothing major though. He's probably feeling better now. He has been writing every week although they are short letters. He is not much of a letter writer. He is happy and is doing well in boot camp. Hope your Recruits are doing well too.

Go to the Group PIR 3/19. You can RSVP for the Meet & Greet. It is at the Ramada Inn in Waukegan from 6 til 8 on Thursday, 3/18. Have you heard anything about how the Division is doing?
