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."

Hang in there. My son is in this division and haven't heard from him other than the form letter. But it made me feel good to see his little neat hand-writing. He even wrote 3 little lines at the end and one was a joke about bringing his RD a macchiato. it made me so relieved that he made a joke. I just try to imagine what he's doing all throughout the day and night. I've sent a letter every day since I got his address and have tried to make everyone in the family write write write!

When my son wrote his three little lines he said time was flying by so that made me feel great! I hope that they are coming together as a division. Then they can earn phone calls!!

they have trivia tuesday and if our division wins they post pics of our kids/spouse :) the question is posted at 10am central :) answer not on wall but where the question is asked... just knowing that they take pics of them at bc is helpful and gives us an idea what they are doing.....

My son is MA also. He is going to San Antonio for A School. We are from the Kansas City area. We made our flight reservations and are going to stay at the Residence Inn in Waukegan. It was cheaper for us to fly in to Milwakee than Chicago. It is about the same distance.

Ya I have been briefly looking when I can... Thats cool that alot of our SR's are going to SA... :) Im on facebook... facebook.com/peruvianmami you can also request me.. i chk that more often since I have it linked up to my cell...
Im really hoping that out SR's get the whole weekend with liberty since its a holiday weekend that would be awesome :)
I would fly into mke but i think it would just to be too much of a drive for my baby... so I might have to fly to a closer airport and lodge close too.

I checked and the airport in Milwaukee is 12 miles further than O'Hare. Any hotel in Waukegan should be really close to PIR. We received a letter today!!! It is so awesome to hear from him. He said that things were going OK. He said that the division as a whole is having some problems so pray for them that they can work as a team!!
