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.

I got a from my son this morning at 8am (Ship 03, Div 011) I got to talk to him for 30 minutes, he wanted to use the last 10 min of his time to call his brother. I guess he won a bet with his commanding officer. It was all or nothing double bet. He had to recite everything in a 40 point inspection and got 20 min. Then the officer said "all or nothing can you pass the 40 point inspection" and he did so he got 40 minutes of phone time. He's having a blast. Said bootcamp is alot of fun. The physical part is really easy, he said football practice was alot harder physically than bootcamp lol. He said they get to shoot next week. Monday they get shooting practice with lasers (no bullets LOL) and then on Tuesday they will get bullets, they may be rubber bullets at first, he was not sure. They get to shoot a 9mm and a 12 gauge shotgun. Its kind of disappointing for him because he's used to alot high caliber. He said the food is okay, its not bad, but its not very healthy. He was expecting alot healthier food. In all he's having fun, still does not like the underwear and he was really upset that they charged him $700 for his ditty bag. He said a pair of New Balance shoes was $89.

Happy Sunday everyone! I just found this group today and thought it would be nice to connect as well. My SR is in Div 12 and is staying in Great Lakes for A school. Wow, just saw that there are 26 days until graduation. I CAN.NOT.WAIT!
I am curious, are there any mom's on here that will not be able to travel to PIR? I'd love to connect with a 'sailor' whose family is not able to join them and maybe adopt a new sailor for family dinner on Friday.

Yes, I was trying to figure out if my boyfriend was in that picture! I can't recognize him with a stocking cap...I wonder if that's the whole division? He's in 011 too!
