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."

Idea!!!!! Planning to write my son a letter and thought it would be good if we Ll share our last names. CT and I have shared that with each other so we can ask our sons if they know each other. What does everyone think? And surely we will get letters tomorrow or Friday. I am soooo ready for one. Feeling anxious!
NOW.... Let me be the first to share: COBB

Thank you CTmom...I am disappointed to think we will not have very much time with them, if any. That's a LONG drive from Alabama!

This is a quick repost of yesterday. Lets hope this one does't vanish too.
Sunday was the first day they could write so expect letters this week. Depending how close to IL your are could be Wed. Most likely Thurs or Fri.
They have been getting our letters.
No pictures of this division have been taken. Their sister Div (sorry didn't ask what the number was) have/had camera people following them.
Did the first PT swim/run test. Some did not pass the run they will retest in 2 weeks.
The RDC's aren't "as bad as some" that's a good thing. He wouldn't give details. as the RDC's are always around so he had to be careful what he said.
Last week I asked him to get clarification regarding leaving after PIR. He was told..everyone will be gone by 3AM Sat. My suggestion is ask your SR about this.
Food is ok, they get up about 5 lights out 10. Have been doing a lot of marching and PT. Oh and his boots are not comfortable. Maybe just for my kid??? They are wearing the blue camo uniforms.
I asked what week/day and was told yesterday was week 1 day 5 that didn't seem right to me but.....
Graduation is not on the BC side of base like normal. It's on the A school base due to the amount of hoopla that day...no idea where that is. I'm hoping they give us directions.
Think that was all i had said. Sorry if I missed something in the recap :(
They've been to the NEX once

Well it had alot of good info. That is so strange! And just read your message....last week when you told us it was Day 1, I marked it on my calendar....that was last Tuesday. I thought that today would start Week 2. Who knows?!?? Maybe we will all get letters this week and we can know for sure.
