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."

Any TX recruits in Div. 804 with 1/23/15 PIR date?
I would love to connect with you over the next weeks...and then meet up in GL at the graduation. Once PIR is over, our kiddos are going to have become good friends, and I would love to have a "local" Texas support group of Moms to stay connected with, too.

Hi, Sharon! Have you received any letters from your son? I just got three this week - two in one envelope, one separate. It was awfully good to hear from him.
Have you joined the PIR 1/23 for the 804 division group too? Great dialogue going on there.

Hey there.... Sorry, I have not been on for a few days, trying to finish Christmas shopping, ugh!!!!
I did receive 2 letters this week on the same day. My husband texted me at work and told me, so I couldn't wait to get home to read them. It sounds like he has made some good buddies and they all are hanging in there.
Some of the things that he described were quit funny. Like he eats so fast, he's not sure if the food is really good or not lol!!
I see that you guys are from Spring? I grew up in Conroe, graduated and then we moved to Cypresswood.. We are in Wimberley now, in the Texas hill country. :)
Thanks for the link for the PIR. Cant wait for 1/23...

Our two older children were born in San Marcos! We live in the Dallas area and our son is in Div 070 with PIR 01/23/15. He left Nov. 24th and I have 5 more Fridays until I see him!!!! I have mailed tons of letters and received the form letter and one written letter. We missed his first phone call and have received 2 others. He calls on my husbands phone so I have only been part of one of them. Hopefully we'll get one for Christmas!
