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."

Ship 03 Division 217 !!
We have a division!!! Yay, I am super excited to get to know you all that have our SR's in the same division!
Please introduce yourselves! (no last names :)
I am Sharon. My daughter Erin is 21 and she came to bootcamp from Iowa. I live by myself, work as a dog groomer and I have a broken toe. I miss Erin so much but things are looking up! Got her form letter today. Got an 'I love you :) " on the back! I am so glad to know that Erin isn't alone. She is digging deep and working hard every day, and has your loved ones to help each other, learn from each other, and they are together in missing us like crazy too. And being a veteran, I know, their days are getting better each day too.
Next up.. our phone calls!! Next week? If not for sure the week after!. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Please friend me if ya want!

My SR is now a sailor!!! They were in Battle Stations from 8:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. this morning but he said it went well. He (and the rest of the division?) had just come from a meeting about going to A school after PIR, so we now know that too, but I think I'm not supposed to post that kind of information online. :)
So happy!

I still have not received her 'I'm a sailor call'. I am leaving for GL shortly. If you need to reach me you could call my cell.

Melissa, I just talked to your Mom and she is on her way to Great Lakes. She doesn't know why she didn't get her call but she called somewhere this morning and was told everything is cool and Erin is graduating on Friday.
Miss you honey. Love Grandma
