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."

Awesome news Adrienne! No way of knowing the time, but hopefully folks will post when they start coming in, so we can all be more ready. Maybe he means it's an hour for the WHOLE Division to use the phone? There's 88 in the division, and several phones so that would give each of them several minutes for the phone call. (I hope!)

haha i figured they either told them that so they did better on one of their IT's because he said if they got a 5.0 they got a one hour phone call. i sort of chuckled to myself because its like dangling meat infront of a dog. but ill be happy with 20 min. no one on earth is it possible for a one hour phone call at bootcamp. lol.

This is common (talking and teamwork)...it is still early in BC too. Things start to "gel" about week four.
Recruits can be "lost' by either being seperated (discharged and sent home) from the Navy (not everyone is cut out for military life) or being asmo'd...sent back in training. That can happen for a variety of reasons...medical, administrative. Divisions may also "pick up" some more recruits along the way before PIR as recruits that have been asmo'd are placed in another division to finish BC.
