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."

any time now, I guess, at least according to what I read, somewhere. sorry, so much to read and learn, that I'm beginning to forget what I learned where. Battlestations can be any time from now till next Wednesday. and we won't know if our child passed until/up to 24 hours before PIR. Nerve wracking time now...good luck to everyone's recruits. Hope all of our son's and daughters pass!!

BattleStations dates for this group are in a mess. Too many conflicting dates have been given to me, so that is why I am asking all to keep cell phones handy starting this afternoon (you all should not be getting a call this afternoon though...but 077-080 could call, or the 800 divisions...or even the 900 division!). You all need to have phones handy starting Monday afternoon and for each afternoon beyond that until you receive the call. It is an overnight drill (12 hrs) and they call after 2 pm Central time the day they finish.

I haven't had a chance to interact with the group like I wanted since my son has been gone. I have enjoy every email and reading every post as they have come in...I am one Proud parent of my Recruit in Div 084 he has informed me that he will be carrying the Flag for Graduation but I am also waiting to here the replies of how Battle station will be today....His letters have been so heartfelt and I am Glad that eventhough this is actually his first time away from home he is meeting new friends and is coping quite well....
