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 I made the executive decision to visit my friend who lives about ten minutes away from Bootcamp over the Memorial Day weekend. I heard they frown upon weeping mothers who stand outside so I shall just drive by it and be happy he is safe.

Finally received mail! Three short notes to me, 2 to her mom, and 1 to Great-Gramma. They were all mailed on 5/20, but were dated 5/11, 13 & 15. She describes everyone in Div 244 as "kool" and says marching is fun. Likes the food, but misses mom's cooking. We still have not received the "form letter". Has anyone else not received it??? So happy to hear that Poochie is going to be OK.

got my first short letter today from my bf in div 243.
my bf said the girls are having a little hard time coming together as a team, but I think it's still a little early.
wishing them well and hoping they will finally get it.
"keep your mouth shut, your eyes and ears open and all will be well.
So very very proud of my SR.

Glad you got a letter, yay for letters!
I hope you're right about the females and they will get it together, since my SR is one of them. Geez. Did he say what the problem was? Women. LOL
Very proud of all the SR's and "no news is good news".

Has everyone received the "form letter"? We are still waiting.
My SR is in Div 244. Do any of you have a young lady SR in 243 or 244?

Got a call this afternoon from our SR, Div 244. She is my only grandchild and it was absolutely wonderful to hear her voice. She says the food is fantastic. Said she probably won't be able to call again for a while, but hopefully we will hear from her soon with good news about her progress toward passing the PFT.
Happy to hear that others also received calls.

Need some help, please. Found out from my Div 244 SR yesterday that she placed the form letter in the incorrect box, it's still in the box, and no one has a key. I told her to explain this to someone in charge and to find out if she can send another form letter. Does anyone know if a replacement form letter is a possibility? If not, how can we get the password to print the parking pass for PIR?

Happy Memorial Day Mom's! The joy I have in my heart to know that my SR is beginning on this amazing journey makes my heart swell with pride.
On a poopy side, I missed my phone call AGAIN yesterday!! Boo!!! My SR (03/244) told her dad when she last called that they would only be making calls on Saturdays so of course I stayed in the house all day Saturday and missed the call Sunday...heartbroken! She thought her next call might be June 7th a Friday, any other Mom's hear that info?
Kaleigh's Gramma, I'm not sure this is the place to give that info (security gate and parking pass codes) but i'm sure if you call the RTC and speak to someone, they can help!
I would love to share her responsibilities and volunteer stuff but do you think that will make her a target of her Superiors?

I'm sooo sorry you missed another call. Hopefully she will catch you next time.
My SR told me what she thought the password is and she's going to ask about sending another letter. I totally agree with you...this is not the place to share that info and it is her responsibility to get the info for us.
