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."

Alright Betsy - I'm banking on A being in Div 22. I wonder what happened to Div 23?? Susan

You got your call before all of us. I think it's just not a priority for your recruiter. You would think though as soon as he tells you you will leave him alone. Susan

Lori - Man! Everyone is together except my D! At least same Ship and hopefully this will mean same PIR! Glad you got it!! Susan

This is so exciting! - I will check later to see if you and K are on line and then try to do a private chat so we can exchange last names - That will be the only way the boys will know of each other
Betsy - hope you hear soon! -

You'll have to teach me the steps to enter a chat! When I get home from work I will try and figure out; I'm staying home tonight. Looking forward to some R&R - no one home but me and Kelsey Kay - my dog; I didn't have a girl so named the dog my girl name :-) S and A are both Subs so hoping they get to know one another. S will be Nukes but should land in Groton where Adam's A school is. We'll see.

Well his pants were rolled up, so we know he at least tried boots on :) Susan

I have no idea what that means. Ship 4 Div 020?? Drew's also said 2011 so don't worry about that. Susan

Actually makes sense. He called first so he is in Div 020, D is Div 022, and everyone else Div 024. Susan

So, I guess the ship being different might not really matter? Maybe different ships graduate at the same time? I'm hoping!

It looks like the graduations are by divisions, so that won't be a problem. The ships are just the building they are in. It looks like we will have the same PIR since A is 020 and D is 022. Probably all the 024's also. Better than nothing!!! We will just just to introduce the boys when we do our road trip and set up their play date :) Susan
