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."

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 950
Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.
Get to know each other, your SRs are!
Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.
Every single question that is asked is important Every single concern is genuine Every single member is important to us We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

That is where I am planning on staying......having to wait until tomorrow to book.
Well its close enough to where I know I will go visit her......it takes about 4-4.5 hrs to drive. I was thrilled to know she would be close for a little while, kind of eases me into this new life. :) Maybe our girls will befriend each other and maybe she could go on some dinners with me and my daughter. We are thinking that for C school we will end up in Jacksonville or I think more likely San Diego. For me not near as much visiting then BUT I have always wanted to go so I know I will make at least one trip out west.

There's a lot of info here but a lot flying around on the facebook N4M as well. The RTC site has a lot of info. On here if you can find the forms there is an entire breakdown of bootcamp week by week a diagram of the entire area showing ships etc. I enjoyed watching the Faces of BC 2013 on youtube, I know it was 'watered down' some but was very enlightening for me.
Make sure to watch and get your gate pass for RTC once they have it available, you will need it the entire time if you have to shift your SR back and forth

We haven't heard anything yet. Except for a quick call home for addresses for her background check

I haven't heard a thing. No call, no personal letters. It's kind of hard when I read that other divisions have been hearing from their SR's.
It makes me feel better to know that the other Div 950 moms haven't heard anything, either.
Maybe they'll get to call this weekend.
