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."

So, THERE'S A SEPARATE GROUP!!!
GREETINGS Ladies, Moms....I found you!! :-)
Haven't been logged into N4M's site in 10 days!!! Although I do log into my yahoo account and have been reading all the posts on there, while wondering: Why do I not see any posts from the Ship 11 DIV 339 Mom's.....??? All because this division has their own group now!!! YEAH. I had no idea. Not until I just logged in, directly to the N4M's site. Either way, I'm still learning to navigate on this site.
Well, it's been a month (8-20). I'm still adjusting. One letter, one call. (I think I may have spoiled him with all my cards and letters.) Nevertheless, this is "still" so very challenging!! EXs: If I go in my sons' room......Here comes the tears. When I smell the last shirt he wore, here comes the tears....(I won't wash it). When I stumbled on his 1st wood shop creation today (from 2002)....Here come the tears. But he has his own life to live. And I have to trust that with time.... This WILL get better!!
I hope you're all doing well. I now need to read your posts, catch up in this group.....As always, thank you all for sharing. PEACE
♥

Hello PKM. Appreciate the feedback, your sentiments. Yes, 339 & 340. We're ALL in this together!!! ;-)
Where are you from? As you can see fom my login, I'm from Boston. I just finished writing out another card. Last week, when me and my son spoke, he was sick. Apparently, based on some of the blogs; a number of SR's in DIV 339 are ill. They call it the Ricky Crud - The upper respiratory, headaches, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and nosebleeds that plague a very large number of those in Boot Camp. While my son has a high tolerance for pain, that combination of symptoms....?!? It's a cocktail with all those shots!! Is it any wonder?! It can happen to people just getting a flu shot. WITNESS.
Still, I can't help but wonder how he's doing, how hard do they push them when they're sick, etc. Yes, we have a concerned mother here!! :-) And, YES. 1 more month: We'll get throught this. One day at a time. Bless You. :-)

I am from Georgia. When I talked to Kyle he also said there were a lot of people sick also. He wasn't thankfully. I hope your son is feeling better. Hopefully they will call again in the next couple days. Keep your phone close! You won't be able to attend PIR?

Oh, I have a couple of friends in GA. Just spoke with one this weekend. Thank you PKM. I hope my son is feeling better by now. And happy for you that your son is not sick. I can't even imagine, being in military boot camp AND while your sick. Yes, I hope to hear from my son again real soon. And no, unfortunately I won't be able to attend. YOU? I read the post about the PINK scarfs. WHAT A GREAT IDEA to indentify the divisions SR's Moms!!!
