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 333 & 334. 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 to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups 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 never has said who the culprit is. All I know about it is that he argues a lot and with high ranking people to boot! I haven't heard from him since last Monday. I am hoping they get phone calls tomorrow like he did 2 weeks ago. I guess we have to wait til PIR to find out, if we do at all.

Wow, that's a bummer. I got my letter on Mon as well and I was very surprised as I usually get them on Fri. I even got one on Wed. but it was very short and it answered only a couple of questions that I had asked a week or two prior. The delay is a struggle. Tomorrow is day 4-5 I think according to what I have read and what he has sent to me. I hope they did really well this week!! :)

Me too! I have my fingers crossed.

We got a call the same day.... and he has mentioned "that person" in his letters.  I am so excited!!!

Actually got a 13 mins phone call yesterday..It was so nice. My son (ship 14 div 333) said they did well on their pt test and everyone passed so they got to use the phone.  He stated that this is hell week, but it wasn't a big deal. He's just grateful its almost over and wants to get on to his real job.  He said that he will get leave from the afternoon on pir until about 9pm then he leaves for Meridian at noon the next day for A school for 6 weeks. I can't wait to see him.

Praying hard here and cannot wait!!!    We are Ship 14 Div 334!
