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."

The only reason I got a call today was business related.....have not had a personal call since the 19th. No mail either...really glad we are halfway

I am sad as well. I just hope it isn't my son who is causing the trouble, can't imagine it would be (haha) but I would feel terrible if it were.
Shannon - curious, why did you get to talk to your son on Christmas Eve? Did some SR's get to call while others didn't? Did he share anything with you we might find useful?
Thanks for sharing ladies - this is my life line to my son at the moment. I never imagined I would have such a difficult time during this 8 weeks. I am not the 'worry' kind of mom. :-( But alas....my nerves have the best of me!!

Division 069 got a hit on their inspection and lost calling privileges on Christmas Eve. Sounds like there are some issues amongst the girls......just stuff I pick up from brief communication. Hasn't been any direct info.

Ducky - We're "girls" too!! I was poking fun at me. I have very little faith that I could have pulled off what these kids are doing when I was that age - especially as a "GIRL"! Sorry - wasn't meant to offend.

I'm not offended.....but I am frustrated that we can't be in contact because the group cannot work as a team, especially since I am hearing how other divisions are doing so well and getting calls literally every other day. My SR doesn't put up with crap and I am sure she is equally frustrated.

You would think by now, halfway through, the problem SR's would get their act together !

I received two letters today. She is still in good spirits but they had to stand the entire holiday for some infraction. She wrote one letter standing. They have not regained any privileges at all including phone, and curtains for the toilet. Overall she enjoys it, finds the guys in the division funny and is very upbeat. She says that there are a lot of really immature girls in her group and they keep getting into trouble which is why we don't get the calls. Oh well, we are almost there. Her biggest gripe is the underwear......grannie panties.
