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."

Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 029 & 030

These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.

Get to know each other, your SRs are!

Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.

Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.

Hang in there!!!

Still no real letter from my son.  Has anyone gotten a real letter from ship 12 div 29?

No letters here yet, form or real.  I sent off a packet containing my son's absentee ballot and driver's license on Tuesday and received delivery confirmation that it arrived at RTC yesterday.  They should be able to write tomorrow.  I think that it still may be a little early for phone calls, hope I'm wrong.

I wonder where your form letter is cheifdad.

Hopefully they get to write real letters tomorrow. I sent my son one of the questionairs so i am hoping to at the very least get that back lol

Hello my son is also Ship 12 DIV 30. That is great that you sent your son a absentee ballot we are going to do that also! I hope we hear from them soon. I guess "no news is good news"

No letter here in GA today :(

My husband is ship 12 div 030!!! I received his form letter but nothing else. Can't wait for Nov 30th!!!

My son is also ship 12 DIV 30. No letter yet and we are all missing him terribly. We are driving from Texas to Chicago for graduation. Where are you located?

I live in fla so I'll be flying & I'll be 6 1/2 months pregnant! I still haven't gotten a real letter.

Today is my son's girlfriend's b-day.  Even though I would LOVE to hear from him, it would be nice if she got a quick call.  Even though they are 19&20, they have been together since they were freshman in high school.  So I have a question, where is everyone staying for PIR ?

we are staying at homewood suites

Has anyone received the Thanksgiving form letter they have been talking about in the main group?

not yet but it took 4 days for my form letter to get here. I am glad they are doing it my son was hoping they would. I just wish we lived close. but if none are left behind then he will get aa chance to go with someone :)
