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."

Too much talking and getting in trouble for talking etc, is normal. You hear it in every PIR group and in almost every division at one point or another, it is part of the learning process for them. They will eventually 'get it" and the complaint will slow down, although it may not completely disappear.

Divisions can be sponsored by an organization or by Navy Commands etc...for motivation. The Sponsor will send a representative several times through out the Division BC experience.
Here is a link talking about Sponsorship:

My daughter got to make a call...but it wasn't to me:( Her boyfriend got the call. At first I was really upset and JEALOUS but today my way of thinking has changed. If she needed to hear his voice to keep her spirits up and keep going for the next 34 days, so be it. He said she sounded really good, shed some happy tears, and that he will give me the rest of the details this weekend. Still a little butthurt but I will get over it!
