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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by New2Navy(Class 1205) on December 8, 2011 at 9:11pm

I got a letter today - its the best letter yet!! He sounds so excited for Battlestations and PIR - said the div. is coming together well - they passed their last inspection and won all the flags they could get.. When is the hall of fame game or whatever that fun day is called??  Isn't that before battlestations?

Comment by Jajajo on December 8, 2011 at 7:36pm
So Diannep I'm assuming that we shouldn't leave the phones anywhere. To keep them on our person? HAHA!! Like your comment :)
Comment by diannep on December 8, 2011 at 7:29pm

Normally by now, we have a BattleStations schedule together.  But I have only received a couple of dates from you all, and they have been conflicting!  Sooo....I say....have phones handy tomorrow just in case some make the I'm a Sailor call.  They normally go in numerical order, brother divisions together.  So that should tell you who may be calling...if anyone!  Calls usually start around 2 pm GL time and can continue for a while.

If no calls come in tomorrow, then it looks like all will go through next week.  Just don't leave those phones for a minute...in the bras, ladies!

Debbie:  You'll get that call!  We just aren't sure when!  :-)

So great, NavyChief, that you got such a great letter!

Comment by Proud Navy Mom Ship 11 Div 018 on December 8, 2011 at 6:59pm

I have pretty good contact with our recruiter...he said the last week to expect fewer letters if any since they are preparing for PIR...sooo no news is good news... LOL

Comment by Debbie G. on December 8, 2011 at 6:58pm

Ok - since I haven't heard ANYTHING (by phone or mail) since Thanksgiving, maybe I won't get that call either lol!

Comment by Proud Navy Mom Ship 11 Div 018 on December 8, 2011 at 6:56pm

Debbie G...once they have passed Battlestations they are granted "THE CALL" that says they are officially a SAILOR..... :o)))

Comment by Debbie G. on December 8, 2011 at 6:53pm

Sorry, I must have missed something - what's "The Call"?

Comment by NavyChief04 Ship 11 DIV 017 on December 8, 2011 at 6:53pm
Received an uplifting letter from our SR. Also received an awesome Christmas decoration with his picture on it! Tears of happiness!!! Said they have received all their flags :-) :-)! Sounds like he is with a good Division, Thank you Lord! Can't wait until next week.
Comment by diannep on December 8, 2011 at 4:02pm

There is a video of BattleStations on www.youtube.com

Put in "BattleStations 21 by CNN".  Interesting video of what your SRs will be doing as they take the final step to become sailors!

Comment by diannep on December 8, 2011 at 4:01pm

Welcome, Sonja!  So glad you are here!
