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."

My son is Div 226 also I look forward to meeting you and hope your son is doing well. My son told me his commander does not yell like the others and seems cool. The work outs are intense but not unbearable. The boots different story. lol

Hey Alice I called my sons recruiter and he confirmed the PIR date for me as July 25 so I know Sean wasent held back. Im pretty sure the wisdom teeth thing is what prevented me a phone call this past weekend. Its neat how the two divisions are brothers lol Hopefully we get some more moms in our brother divisions.

Welcome to this group! My son said they had a large division. Hopefully more moms find thier way here. Make sure to tell your SRs to mention NavyforMoms.com to their peers so they tell their loved ones. That may be one way they can find us.

My son is DIV 225.... got our 1st phone call on Saturday!! He was a little teary, (we both were) but overall sounded good, just homesick. Said he'll call again in about 3 weeks. Hopefully he will have more time to talk. Missing my boy...

Hang in there all of us are going thru the same thing. Even if you just send a comic or write one sentence keep sending him mail almost every day even if it is to talk about pets. They also can receive tasteful pictures and band aids but only a few.
