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."

Anyone else have loved ones in this division? I could use some help understand what this division is about, the note on the back of the form said he is in the drill division. I know that means he preforms at his PIR and two before his, but I'm curious about what that means as far as his time in RTC and after.

We received our calls yesterday too. My son said he will be using the rifle during the PIR. He said that his group is good and they are getting along. I guess the next couple of weeks are supposed to be a lot of fun.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Here is a picture taken today of our SRs. RTC has a contest called "Trivia Tuesday" every week. They post a question and the first to respond with the correct answer will get their SRs division posted on their Facebook page later in the week. I'm so excited that I won this week. So happy to see my son and his division.
If you're not on Facebook, here is the picture. Enjoy!!!
Whoops...sorry Jackie...and thank you!
