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."

We have a group on Facebook that is for anyone with a recruit in boot camp. There are some moms on there with a discussion going who are looking for moms in your division. We have a great mix of people who are new to boot camp, some who have just hard PIR or are about to and some who are experienced and can answer questions.

My son is also in this Division and I miss him dearly. I got the first phone call they earned and my nightmares stopped but now I'm anxious to get an update. I have been writing to him and enclosing a stamped envelope and paper for him to write me back. I haven't received anything yet. Does anyone know if they can send letters home?
