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."

Got a letter from my SR today.. He drew a picture of where he will be at PIR and where we should sit so we can see him!
30 days and counting! -

Nrainy, according to the pic that he drew he showed that he would be just to the left of the stage. ( if u are facing the stage)
He drew several x's I think indicating the rest of the division. Then right before the end of the letter he said they may have changed it and he would be further to the Left. He said that he would let me know for sure as time gets closer. I'm not really sure what job he has. He has never said! The only thing I do know is that he is also in the national honor guard.
I'm very happy for you that you will be able to go. It would be tough if you couldn't make it.I'm sure it's difficult for some families to fly all that way. I am fortunate to be so close. It would be nice to hook up with all the parents from this division!
I'm not sure how well I would be coping if it weren't for all you mom's.
He also said that next week is "hell " week and I am told that it lives up to it's name. He asked for us to pray a lot. Underlining the a lot! -

Make sure and check out the FB page that is the U.S. Navy recruiting command. They post pics on there from time to time.
I have not seen my SR in any of them but one of you might! Some of them are holding flags with the division number. I haven't seen ours. Good luck.... It's like looking for Waldo! -

Any mom's in this div. from New Jersey? Just curious. My SR is bunk mates with someone from there.
Please pray for him as he is in SIQ for a few days with bad sinus infection. I think it's combined with getting wisdom teeth out. -

Thank you dbryer. The one good thing was that I received a really long letter!

I am dbryer's mom our SR is my grandson..It is very hard getting thru the day without seeing him or talking to him on his birthday. We have never as I can remember been apart on his birthdays, but he knows his whole family is thinking of him and praying for him and can hardly wait to see him We ate at one of his favorite places to eat in his honor and I had to have sea salt vinegar chips for him.

havent checked in for awhile. A very good friend of ours passed away this past week and we we're in New York for the funeral. But, we have all been doing better nothing like a funeral of a 35 man to remind you how precious life is and to take nothing for granted! We've all been getting letters pretty regularly and I received the BC qestionaire back that I had sent him, that was very interesting and entertaining as it was full of his added humor. He too is a recruit religious petty officer and we heard today that he was promoted in that area as well. He sent us several names of people to be praying for. Seems to be doing well just tired! God bless...

Dbryer, sorry to hear about your friend. We have been receiving lots of letters too. Our SR did mention in a recent letter tht he thought they might be able to call home yesterday. Never got a call! Just thankful that we get letters. I look forward to them every Wed.when I come for lunch.
He also mentioned something about they might be performing in the MEmorial day parade in Chicago. But didn't know for sure. Has anyone else heard anything like that?
Hope you all had a great Mothers day. IT won't be much longer! -
