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."

Ship 03 Division 217 !!
We have a division!!! Yay, I am super excited to get to know you all that have our SR's in the same division!
Please introduce yourselves! (no last names :)
I am Sharon. My daughter Erin is 21 and she came to bootcamp from Iowa. I live by myself, work as a dog groomer and I have a broken toe. I miss Erin so much but things are looking up! Got her form letter today. Got an 'I love you :) " on the back! I am so glad to know that Erin isn't alone. She is digging deep and working hard every day, and has your loved ones to help each other, learn from each other, and they are together in missing us like crazy too. And being a veteran, I know, their days are getting better each day too.
Next up.. our phone calls!! Next week? If not for sure the week after!. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Please friend me if ya want!

Hey gals.. have any of you seen or heard anything from Laurie-Justins Mom? She has been off the grid for 8 days now and I am a little concerned. Erin and Justin had the same recruiter and swore in together, traveled together. I met Laurie at MEPS and the airport. I hope they just took a vacation.
Laurie... come out come out where you are!!

Hi Everyone,
So Kyle will no longer be graduating with DIV 217! Such a bummer but he has been in RCU for a week right now and missed to much to graduate on schedule. He will probably be spending another week in RCU and is on phase 3 out of 4 of physical therapy. Then he will enter into another division where he left off. Wishing you all the best and hope everyone gets to see there SR's soon!!!

Madeline, I have so enjoyed reading your posts. You are such a positive person. Kyle sounds like he is a very strong man and will do amazing once he finishes his recovery. Please let me know what division he joins so I can follow the rest of your bootcamp journey :)

Nooooooo! Okay, that was my first reaction. I was really looking forward to meeting you all at PIR.
But I guess it's best to take a little extra time now to recover rather than push through and do permanent damage to his knees. Here's hoping our SRs' paths cross again after RTC!
Best wishes always.
