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 Laurie (Nolan's mom) on August 9, 2012 at 6:51pm: Can anyone tell me where I could go to find out more information about my SR A school and information about the different classes he will have to take pertaining to his job title. There are like 3 different classes he is going to have to take for his job and I just wanted to see if I could get more infor about them and see how long each one is going to be. Thank you for any guidence on this.

Comment by Barb(Ship9Div288) on August 9, 2012 at 5:28pm: I think that they are more combined than the other divisions because they are integrated. Instead of the divisions (287 & 288) being in separate barracks, the guys are in one and the girls in the other. And they are all together for training. I had to ask my SR when he called. An idea for everyone who hasn't got their call yet: write down your questions and keep them nearby. I was so excited that I didn't remember anything I wanted to ask until after we hung up! :)

Comment by diannep on August 9, 2012 at 2:27pm: I think he means that they train together, eat together, etc. So rather than just knowing the 80+ in their own division, they know the other 80+ too! Several of my son's good friends were in his brother division.

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 9, 2012 at 8:45am: I'm not sure what he meant but said he knows them and to get names so he tell them I know their moms. :) I loved hearing he made many friends. I'd love to meet his bunkmates mom but maybe she's not here :( I'll post on that page and maybe but everyone seems to be everywhere on this site....lol.

Comment by diannep on August 9, 2012 at 8:12am: What does he mean by combined? That they are all in the same barracks? Brother divisions always train together. That is why we like for you ladies to get to know those ladies in your brother division too...since your SRs know those recruits as well.

Good morning all!

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 9, 2012 at 7:38am: Second letter yesterday but no phone call. That's ok tho I'm ok with that now and it will come when it comes. He is making new friends and other than being really sick he sounds great, very comical in his letter. He wrote so many people, I'm shocked. 287 and 288 are combined, did you know that. I think I knew they were brother divisions but not combined. I have to go through posts to meet more moms for PIR :)

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 9, 2012 at 7:18am: Hi Sharbear! I'm taking a quick break (graveyard). Have you heard from yourSR?

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 9, 2012 at 7:04am: FTLW, I realized that the other profile pic had his name on the cake....paranoid now......lol

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 9, 2012 at 1:44am: 2 letters from SR today! She was made section leader, doesn't know why or for how long, but she did. :). She says herRDCs know her name now so, so much for flying under the radar haha!
