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 Division Discussion for Divisions 371 and 372

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!!!

Hopefully we have all started receiving our first personal letters from our Recruits today. I did! Though I have decided that letters from my son are like crack.......I am needing another one already. :)

Owen5 -   You got that right!   I want another letter NOW... lol.    I thought it would be easier with a second son going through RTC.  Nope, not a chance!  I miss my sailors!  I am thankful for this group and the ability to share with each other.

Good morning everyone & happy friday!! 6 more weeks til we get our sailor hugs!! =)

I like coming on this page and seeing the countdown clock knock away those days.  I tell my friends that I only count the number of Fridays until I get to see my SR.  6 Fridays sounds closer than 6 weeks!! I also wish that Thursdays (my Navy mail day here at home) could come every two or three days instead of seven days.  Just sayin.....haha.  I got a phone call yesterday, second Saturday in a row!! I was happy! He sounded better but is still so homesick, just breaks my heart!

I wish I could see the countdown clock :0( my iPad won't show it to me!

Is there a mom named Cassie (sorry if misspelled) from div 371? I believe our daughters are friends...she asked me to reach out to you. She didn't elaborate much...just said to introduce myself. lol

Shanon can we post link to our Div page on here?

Teresa  Sorry, had to delete your post that had a SR's last name in it.  Not allowed on here.  Please repost with initials and hometown (if you know it). 

So excited, 5 1/2 weeks until PIR.  My son is on ship 12 Div 371.  We will be driving from KS, if you are from here or Omaha, we'd be happy to caravan to Great Lakes.

Hello,

My daughter is part of Division 372

My daughter is also part of div 372.  her nickname is high school musical.  she is always singing and dancing.  maybe our daughters are friends.

That would be cool. I don't if my Shanny has a nickname.
