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 :)
