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."

Hello. Anyone out there with a recruit in this division? I am super new to all this.

Yes ma'am!! :-) My Husband is in this DIV! Hoping for mail today! Welcome, I'm pretty new at this as well!
HELLO!! I am Kryssie, from Arizona. My daughter is in this division. I too am hoping for mail!!
Me too!! My daughter is in this Div. Still hoping for a letter any day. Has anyone gotten a phone call? I have seen posts in other groups that mom's got calls last Sat and Sun. Not me... I slept with the phone on the pillow Sunday and Monday (I work nights,sleep days). I was so afraid I would miss it if she called.
Hi! I did get a quick call yesterday... 3m17s. According to my daughter, the division has not earned mail privileges yet. Sheesh! Hopefully this week! I know she has stacks of letters waiting. I hope this helps. I am so excited for PIR!
Wow! Your Daughter must have earned a phone call home. That's great news! I can't believe they can't even write yet. :-/ So they haven't even received their mail yet? Sheesh, I know my Husband has plenty! Thanks for the info, definitely helps! I too am super excited for PIR! Wish it could come sooner! :-)
... I hope something great happens TODAY & they at least let them have their mail. I know everything I've sent would put a huge smile & lift my Husband morale up ya'know! Glad we have each other & this group discussion!
Where is everyone from? Who are you supporting (ie child & age, sibling, spouse) ? Anyone as anxious as me? Can't even sleep sometimes. Hoping they "earn" their main soon!
