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."

Do you guys know anything about some of the kids being moved to a separate place? My brother called on Tuesday? And said that he and a few others have been moved to a different group and have special meetings or something?

I booked my husband and my flights today as well as our hotel. :) We are very excited to get to see our SR on 3/22! I got a letter from him on V-day, which of course made my day and made me cry, and he seems to be doing much better. He did say to keep sending letters daily and pictures of the family! Told me how much he misses me and his dad but knows this is what he wants! I am very proud of him and the others young men for hanging in there, they will be our Sailors before we know it!

I saw that on facebook some people were spotting their recruits from the Hopper Divisions in these photos. I opened some of the pics in photoshop and zoomed in as much as I could but I am still not sure if any are my son. LOL I swore I spotted his hands in one pic! My hubby just looked at me like I was crazy but I know my boy's hands! :)

I know my SR has had a cold like so many others there. Delaware Mom....you are a mom and of course...!! you know your sons hands!! It is perfectly fine...only mommas know these things..lol

Deltaflyer, My SR is also in your div. My son told me last Wed. that they will not be calling now for at least 3 weeks. I think the next call to come will be the "I'm a Sailor". call. :)) In this case no news is good news.
