OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Comment by srmproudmom on July 11, 2012 at 9:24pm: I still have only found one mom and one GF from div 941.... I can't believe there are not more on here??? all the other divisions have so many people. Why is the performing division so different?

Comment by FlowerGrower05 on July 11, 2012 at 8:31pm: Hi Everyone, got my first letter from boot camp today. I was very excited. He sounded good but sounded a little tired. Not a lot of sleeping I guess, and his bunk is next to the bathroom so the light is shining on him all night he says.

Comment by diannep on July 11, 2012 at 8:19pm: Absolutely, MomOf4! It is not easy to get into the Navy these days...not to even make it as far as he did. So he should be proud!

Hoping you can talk more often to him soon....

Comment by Hunter518 on July 11, 2012 at 7:57pm: Momof4 please let him know that we are all proud of him!!
No letter for me yet :(

Comment by MomOf4 on July 11, 2012 at 7:45pm: Got a letter today. He sounds so down, he thinks he's let us all down. I wish I could talk to him and let him know we are still proud of him, even though he's being sent home.

I hope some of you got letters, too!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 11, 2012 at 6:32pm: Recruits that get their wisdom teeth out get a couple of days of SIQ (Sick in Quarters)...meds and SLEEP! Which they love...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 11, 2012 at 6:20pm: I just saw an advertisement on TV for a Nationwide Sale at Southwest Airlines. They are running a special for one way flights for only $69.00. You have to book at Southwest.com and the promotion is called their "Nationwide Sale" they are book flights all over the country for that price. Check and see if an airport close enough to you flies Southwest. They don't have a charge for 2 checked bags and they don't charge a change fee if you have to change your tickets. You would only have to pay the difference in the cost of the flight. This is a great deal and they fly into more than one airport in the Chicago/Milwaukee area. Here is the link http://www.southwest.com/

Comment by mom-11-263 on July 11, 2012 at 5:31pm: I am a veteran, but it has been a very long time. I had my wisdom teeth pulled out, all 4. I remember I went in the middle of the day. They pulled them out real quick and then gave me tylenol 2. I think I slept for 24 hours straight. I remember waking up in my bunk and my pillowcase was covered in blood! I didn't have much pain though! He should be fine and hopefully they still give them rest.

Comment by Proudcomom on July 11, 2012 at 5:25pm: 808mom...Glad to hear your son is staying positive. I thought I read somewhere they get 2 days to recover.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 11, 2012 at 4:52pm: The performing division has the same number of recruits as the other divisions. When my daughter was in the performing division 936 in 2010I only found 2 other moms from that division. So it just depends on how many get online. I know the 936 division this year has PIR next week and they have a bunch of people on this site and on facebook. I hope you find a lot too :-)
