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 Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 11, 2010 at 10:10pm: ericsmom- they wont get anything for about 3 weeks as you will not either. - lets say two and a half at this point..... remember there are a lot of recruits coming and going... takes time to get them in the system... Lynne too funny as sooo right on!!! I could not have recounted Bs letters more... hahah... the guys who cant keep their mouth shut etc... hahaha

Comment by ericsmom (ship12 div033) on November 11, 2010 at 10:04pm: do the kids get mail everyday or do they have to wait til sunday?

Comment by Lynne on November 11, 2010 at 10:00pm: Don't forget to check into your divisions daily in your discussion forums...you will be glad you did, because each division is a little bit different and you will find that it is fun to share info about your individual divisions...you might get information about when phone calls are coming (moms always knew less than the wives and girlfriends about these...lol), how they are doing on flags, PT etc. I am trying to figure out just exactly where you all are at....and I bet Lydia will tell me...but I know you are probably a week away at least from getting mail so I want to tell you a story.

When the first batch of letters came...many of them said something similar...like ....we are getting in a lot of trouble because some people can't keep their mouths shut, or they don't follow orders etc....and the moms all went ... whaaaaaat....and inside they went....oh dear Lord...please don't let that be my child....because heaven knows you don't want the troublemaker getting the division to do extra PT to be your child.

It soon became evident that nearly every recruit was the trouble maker at some point or another. In otherwards, the lovely, caretaking, RDCs who have nothing but the best interests of the recruits at heart, seem to find something about every recruit that "needs work". My son at one point committed the great crime of leaning the against the bulkhead and I said, well why did you do that...and he replied...it was a wall mom...oh I said. So when that first letter comes, don't worry! They all get in trouble, they all cause the division to get PT, it is called the Navy boot camp!! So relax, you recruit is no worse than any other!

Comment by becki(uss stockdale) on November 11, 2010 at 9:49pm: hello everyone....I have such a heavy heart for nurse. I am just can imgine... sorry not been here i just want to wrap my arms around them and say I am proud of you for joining and it takes a very special person to go and do what she did and she deserves as many thanks as all do.....

Comment by ericsmom (ship12 div033) on November 11, 2010 at 9:47pm: When do the kids get their first bit of mail????

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2010 at 9:23pm: Thanks, Lala. She asked that her mom send makeup for the pictures.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 11, 2010 at 9:12pm: We sent them about 3 weeks before PIR. We sent it priority mail in a flat rat box and she had it within 3 days. But it important to know that they let them call and ask for these items to be sent, she also asked for them in a letter because she didn't know she would get a call. They know the rules very well and will not ask you to send something if they are not allowed. If they ask you to send it then send it. But I wouldn't send anything they have not asked for.
