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."

My son PIR'd 10/7/11 and then graduated from A school 11/23/11, he was home for 11 days and we said goodbye to him again yesterday as he headed to his first duty station in San Diego.  When we got home from work there was a letter from his good friend that is in Ship 11 Div 37, he had text me to let me know he had arrived safely and also to say that he had missed a call from his friend while his phone was off during the flight. 

Congrats to all of you on getting your first calls.  It was such a wonderful feeling.

My boyfriend Corey is in this division. I got a call from him yesterday!! He seems to be doing a lot better now than a few weeks ago. I can't wait for Jan 13th!

I just got a letter from my SR....their ship and division earned a flag for scoring really high on their written test....Yay...it will be displayed at the graduation.....he was very excited about earning this flag.....some of the kids were set back because they failed inspection....any idea what this means?

Good Afternoon all,

for all of you on F.B. the Navy Recruit page holds a trivia Tuesday they ask a question and the first person to respond with the correct answer get's a Div photo it's held Tuesday's at 12pm central time.

We need more Ship-11 Div-037 players.

our SR's are entering Hell week this will be good for them and us as well as us.

So I hope you'll join in and help win the photo on Tuesday.

Althought, I never won a picture while my son was at BC, I played yesterday to try to win for you guys.  My internet at work is pretty slow. Good luck to all of you.

Did not know anything about the trivia question...will try on Tuesday

When you go to RTC's facebook page, the rules are listed under the Notes section.  They had stopped playing for awhile and yesterday was the first day back.

Thank-you for playing for us Brown,

I played but was not quick enough :(

Winning a pic with our SR's Division would be awesome right now!

Hell week is upon them lets keep our fingers crossed and say our prayers that the do well this week.

I know several of you have ordered ribbons from me to wear to PIR. All of those orders have now been shipped. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive. I am sure you will love them :-D With the holidays here the shipping seems to be taking an extra day or two depending on how far you are from me but hopefully you will all have them by this Friday or Tuesday at the latest. The mail doesn't run on Monday so letters from your SR's will probably be delayed next week as well. If anyone else would like to order the ribbons to wear to PIR to support your Sailor just send me a friend request on this site or send me an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com and I will send you all the ribbon info as well as some helpful tips for PIR. You have more time to place your order if you want to wait until after Christmas :-) I hope you all have a great day.

Lala: got mine last week Love them awesome Job again Thank-you Thank-you!

Everyone else go check out her page, you wont be sorry they are Beautiful and you will love them!

So go order, order,order!

Thanks so much Leese/K's Mom, i am so glad you love the ribbons. Put them on your list so you don't leave them behind :-) I hope you have a good Christmas :-)

Got a short letter today....really nervous about the Marlin Spike....any idea what that is....he said it is kind of like battlestations.....
