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 029 and 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!!!

My son is in same ship and division TierraLynn. 11/27 is PIR date. We are staying at best western.
No calls today?

Got a call -- Div 029 -- 20 minutes or so. He sounded great and talked a lot. He is the MAIL PO, so is distributing and collecting mail. He told us mail comes in every day, but he only collects mail from the SRs on Sunday...He confirmed they are a push division and are learning their stuff quickly. Said the food is great, but not enough of it. He is also the trash guy, and says Chicago mornings are getting cold. Their pea coats aren't in yet, but they will get them soon...he said to keep on writing!

Hope everyone hears from their SR soon!

 

Got a call!!! Division30. He is great and he likes all the guys. He is eating well, doing good on pt and swimming tests. He is in charge of washing Windows. Haha. I feel so much better today.

I received a call. He sounded great. He said that the phone cards we sent are a big hit and they need more. If everyone could send some that would be great, also encourage your SR to share the cards as some people may not have anyone sending them anything. Each card is good for 20 minutes and it's FREE!

 

1. Go to :

http://www.callsforrecruits.org/

2. Download and print the word doc

3. Email the link from the website, and they will reply with a set of pin codes

4. Write the pin codes on the cards, cut them out, and mail them to your SR
