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."

I'm sure that if it were some of our recruits we would know as we would have gotten calls that they were either coming home or being held back. And I am hoping and praying that because they are ALL supposed to be working towards being a unit those that are caring about the team are trying to help those that don't seem to be caring or maybe just aren't getting some things, instead of being judgemental. My prayers are with the whole division, as well as all who are in bootcamp now, because this is the hardest part.

Judy,
Please forgive me if I offended you with my earlier post, I have no idea what recruits it could be I was simply relaying what my son had written in his letter, but yes I do agree with you they do need to care more and work harder with each other. I don't know about you but this is probably the hardest thing I have ever been through, it's like being tortured and we all just want it to end. Thank you for your division prayers and I hope you can make it to the meet and greet so I can meet you. -

No you didn't offend me. I work with behavior kids so I have very tough skin, lol. I pray that if some of the SR's are struggling with anything that they are being helped along by others who are not. I probably won't make it to the meet and greet because we don't land in Chicago till about 9pm. But I am hoping they seet div families together at PIR, :)

Ok Ladies, we have roughly 3 1/2 weeks left, which means our SR's have the same amount of time. Now more than ever we need to be positive and encouraging to our loved ones. We need to pray for them, as well as ourselves. Because there is no such thing as an individual in the military, there is a family. Those they serve with and those they were born/married into. All our recruits are together, as we are together. So keep the positive thoughts and letters flowing, to our loved ones as well as here, Judy
