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."

Ok...what is IT and crud?

Thank you JB'sProudMom! AMEN!

IslandMom-It is Intensive Training, a disciplinary action.. The Crud is I think called The Ricky Crud, which is the Recruit Crud. A bad cold. They seem to almost all get it at one time or another. I wasn't happy to hear about the IT, but they hadn't had one up till then, so that was good. But they earned a flag, which I was proud for them! I wish I would have asked which flag.

Wow! To bad on the IT! I wonder what that was all about??? As for the Crud? I hope they all are OK and in better health! Thank you JB'sProudMom for clearing that up for me! Appreciate it! I will keep our SR's in my thoughts and prayers for Good Health! NO ITS! Let's go boys...FOCUS! STAY STRONG! HOO YAH!

I heard that the IT was for not listening to their rpoc. (The recruit that helps lead the division) I got 2 letters today...finally...he doesn't say anything about being sick. Hopefully, he's not suffering too much.

UGH! No letter and no call yet this week. I feel like I am living vicariously through everyone else who has gotten a call or letter lol...At least I still get to find out what is going on with DIV 013 thorugh all the posts on here otherwise I'd probably go crazy! I am counting down the days until PIR and can't wait to see my son. If they are staying in Great Lakes for A school, then they get free time on the weekend right? I am planning on flying in on Thursday so I can go to the Meet & Greet and then back home Monday morning so I can get as much time as possible with him :)
