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 155 - 156
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.

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

"Got my first call from my daughter today! Greatest phone call I've ever gotten in my life! She mentioned that she's been talking to SR about navyformoms.com! So I'm pretty sure her proud mama is in here somewhere too!"(Sorry, had to edit your post. Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not permitted on the N4M's Website for OPSEC/PERSEC purposes.)

What is the basket and poster thing?? I'm behind. I'm a nurse and been working a lot. Not a lot of time on the site lately. I Have heard from my girl though by phone and letters. Makes my heart happy! She too has a little cold but said she was ok. I was just wondering though whats the baskets and do we just make our own door posters?? Are these for the hotel? We booked at Navy Lodge. Anybody else? Hope you all are well. I'm getting excited about our trip to GL.

the basket is a raffle for Sarge's meet and greet - to help offset the cost of the evening on Sarge's behalf - some folks make them state themed.
the poster is for the door at the Hotel. To give a congratulatory "Shout Out" to your Sailor. Kinda like a welcome home poster.
I'm staying at the Navy Lodge!! 30 days!! YAY

Hi my son is also in ship 11 Div 156 and he has called 3 times and I have gotten 2 letters. He sounded great, and is doing better. They are heading into Hell week, hoping all goes well with that.

Hi there!! My son did tell me a little of what's to come. He sounds excited about it. I on the other hand I'm praying all goes well for him. I also find it amusing that he tells me what his favorite uniforms are and hates his tiddy whities.

Hey there Texas mom. My daughter is in Div 156 as well. She has called 3 times and I've received 3 letters. She sounded really good yesterday. She said good things about their division and sounded proud to be with her group. We are gonna spend a little extra time in GL as our daughter is staying there for A school. Looking forward to meeting all you fellow navy parents. Hope you have a great warm day in TX It's freezing here this am. 28 degrees in TN!!
