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 151 and 152

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!!!

Appears several of us received the first call from our SR's. I hope it was as comforting to all you as it was for me. Happy to have others to lean on during this journey!

thinking about all of them and how they are doing .looking forward to the next letters.

missing my SR and it is a good thing to have others during this journey.

DIV 152, ship 12 my daughter is in....4/15 is just around the corner.  We've got 4 family members we finally got online and got air tickets for today, but just found out a possible 2-4 from our family want to drive up and wait on us to see my daughter that day.  I wish they would allow more than 4, but understandable that they don't because of how many are graduating and accommodating everyone's families.  I wonder if anyone ever uses someone else slots?  I had a friend at work who said he didn't have any family come since he was in his 30's and graduated during the holidays. hmmmm.  Anyone know or is that bad practice?  

My son is also Ship 12 Div 152. I hear they've had some tough days so kudos to your daughter for sticking through it. Our four attendees will be cheering her on, even if all yours cannot attend. There is the live webcast. That has helped our family and friends that can't attend in person.

152 did have some tough days, but sounds like your son did well too !  Many congrats...yes, I just saw this many months later (sorry), I wasn't so good at checking.  I suppose most of Division 152 has finished A school now (my daughter finished last week) and is on to various C schools or their jobs.  She was able to make it home on leave for 5 days and we're loving it. I hope you were able to see your Sailor too !  wow, how much life has changed for them in the last 16 weeks.  

Division 152 parents (USS Triton at Bootcamp) - How are your kids doing?  Are they moved on from A school and either on the way to C school or to their jobs?  Did they get leave?  It's fun to see their journey as they get trained in their disciplines !
