OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

My daughter is also in this Division, her last name is Schoeneck, she left for boot camp on the 22nd of March, now just waiting for PIR information, got my "kid in a box" about an hour ago, delivered by Fed Ex. Very emotional to say the least, but also very proud of her at the same time.

My dtr is in this group also. I just saw that you received the box mruland and made me cry! I am so darn emotional when I get on this site. She is only 17 and I wasn't ready to let her go! I need to toughen up here!!! YIKES So excited to get the PIR date! Recruiter said he would know for sure in 3-5 days.

If all the dates fall in like they should and everything goes as planned I am thinking that the PIR will also be on 5/20. My daughter is 19, but still hard to let go and then once you let go, the contact is almost next to nothing, which I think is what makes it harder on all of us. But all we can do is hang tough and try to keep everything in our letters upbeat to our kids when we write to them.

Like a sad little puppy, i check the mailbox everyday hoping for a letter!

So are all the girls together? I am really not sure how this works? Is this division co-ed?
-

I would assume the girls are together, have not heard yet from any moms with sons in the same division, but it is still early. I am hoping the girls all pull together and help each other get through bootcamp, my husband says that is what bootcamp is really all about is letting go of family and learning how to depend on your shipmates and work as a team. I am proud of all our loved ones who are in the military.

I was confused. I thought Amanda Renee had a bf/fiance in the same division.
I am so proud of all our loved ones! This is such a committment and huge undertaking for anyone to take on. I am so proud to be a navy mom! I can't wait to learn more from all of you.
