OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

New to group also. My son is 18 and is on Ship 14 Div 307. I got his call yesterday. He was homesick also. I hope things get better for them. This is so tough as it is but to finally hear his voice was good. Can't wait to see him!

I got another call from my son just now! He sounds great. Says he's doing much better since talking to me yesterday. He got put on the staff and helps with scheduling. He knows what they are doing every day through PIR. I feel better hearing the confidence in his voice again!

Glad your son had a chance to call again and that you both are doing better. My son did not call again, but promised a letter home. We only talked for 2 minutes on Saturday. He has never been good at verbalizing how he's feeling, so I have to guess, I'm sure glad other Mom's are sharing information as it makes it easier for me to know his Ship/Div are doing well.

I'm honestly starting to think I'm loosing my mind. I know someone asked this, but what week is Ship 14 Div 307 in?

They are a push division. My son said Saturday was week one day 3.

What does it mean to be in a push division? It seems like they should be farther along - doesn't it? Maybe it's just me wanted boot camp to be over:(
