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 343 & 344. 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!!!

Hi Families of 343 - My Sailor graduated today, and while we were outside waiting for him, we saw your SR's division march past us. They looked great! Last week a mom posted about my son's division, and it made all the difference for me, so I thought I would pass on the good feelings!!! Hang in there, you are almost done, and it is worth it all!!! 

This post is also for 344!!! Sorry I forgot to add you!

Thank you so much for those pictures. I'm almost positive my fiancee is carrying the 344 flag. I can only see part of his face but I am pretty sure it is him!

Thank you so much!

Its been a while since anyone has posted anything! I hope everyone is doing ok! These next few days are going to be nerve racking waiting on our calls!! I wish ALL our SR's the best of luck on their last and final test!! Have your phones ready and volume on high!!!! Its almost here!!!!!!

Captain's cup is today!!!

Not heard from my SR in over three weeks. Anyone have any news? I know no news is good news but I am desperate for any news about 344. I will be so glad when Friday gets here . Does anyone know when BS is? I am an emotional roller coaster today. I thought this part was about over. I know it has everything to do with how important this week is and how close we are to physically seeing them.
