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."

Any one else have a son in S11/D122? I received my form letter a few days ago and have probably read the 4 comment lines a thousand times already. Graduation is supposed to be 4/8.

My tip is to buy your airline tickets now with insurance, in case you need to change the date. The closer you get to graduation day, the more expensive they get.

Every day I think "Today is the day that I will not cry" but it hasn't happened yet. I cried for the first three days when he started kindergarten, and he was only gone for half the day, lol. This is much harder than Kindergarten. Where did the time go?

Would love to chat with moms, spouses, girlfriends or anyone who is in the same division as my son :)

Anyone know when they will be doing battlestations?
Just remember, posting last names are taboo!
I dont think thats his last name! My boyfriend said hes not allowed to give last names! So I dont think after he said that he would tell me his last name. Im pretty sure thats his first name but I will delete my post.

Thank you! He is the one and the same :) Remember they call each other by their last names.

LOL, he did mention the "shark" bit in the letter I received last night, but I still don't understand. Did 'K' say what it meant? I can't imagine they really meant an actual shark, (since I believe they were running at the time for IT) and I figure it must be one of their ever ending acronyms! TJ said some more people got IT because they laughed when he said that, then said he was glad because misery loves company, LOL!

Apparently, the division got an hour of IT for any little thing the RDC's could find because they failed their first drill.

I hope to meet you on 4/8, only 16 days!!!

No he didnt say. He just said tell her to ask about "theres a shark chasing you" He said he would understand. Hahah. :) They sound like they are having fun though!!!
Just got off the phone with my new SAILOR! No one from this division failed he said!!! Congrats to all!!!!
OMG!! I too received my first call from my "Sailor" as well!! I haven't heard his voice in 8 weeks!! Way to Div.122!!!!
Congrats 122!
Congrats from mom of 128 to all of 122
