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 171 and 172

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!!!

I have tons of music ready for this trip lol
I love to listen to audio books. That's what passes thee time for me. My teens complain, but they'll have to use their headphones!
Haha nice :)) music makes time pass for me as well :)) so I will be singing while I drive with my sister lol it should be fun :) I'm excited for this adventure and to think at the end of this adventure I'll see my fiancée for a day :)) yay!!

I am trying to scan all the posts (but it is little awkward the way they are sorted by the system), has anyone in ship 11 div 172 received a letter yet?

If so what training day are they on and any news to share with those of us starved for info? :-)

Maureen I have nothing :(  Im also in a FB group for PIR 5/16/14 so there are a few other ppl from our ship i'll let you know if i see anything from them as well

I haven't received anything yet but when I do I'll be sure to tell you :)) hoping I get it today just waiting for the mailman to come!!
I haven't yet. :-(

Letter carrier just delivered to the other side of the street, that means she will be here within the hour.....crossing my fingers.

 I got a letter!!

It is five sentences long.... She said she literally had two minutes to write the letter, she is super sore, super busy and what really, really upsets me is she says she has not gotten ANY letters from me, though others have gotten letters. I have sent out 5.....

I'm glad you got your letter no luck for me so far mailman is taking forever :( that is strange since my fiancée is in the same div and received all the letters I have sent him so far, I wonder why she's not getting them, let's hope she gets all five of those letters soon!
