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 195 and 196

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.

Hi Navy Moms! I'm so excited that I just got the formal letter today so can now start planning for PIR, and I just sent off the first letter to my SR! I can't wait to meet you all on 6/6. My son is in Div 196. 

My son is 196 too ship 13
Hey Jennifer my son is also.
Oh yeah!! It's nice to meet people especially when our boys are becoming a team.. Im missing him a lot this week.. Can't wait to have some contact.
Hi everyone my SR is in 195 and PIR can't get here fast enough.

Hi, my son is also in 195.  wondering how he's doing.  And I agree with you, can't get here fast enough.

Hi!  Just found out on Monday that my son is also in 195.  My husband received a call from him yesterday because he needed more info for the background check.  He was only able to ask, "How's it going?" to which my son responded, "Good.  I can't talk."  lol  I'm glad my husband got that call because I would be over thinking those 4 words like crazy!  :) My son will be going to Pensacola for A school and will be IT.  

I wonder if all of 195 is going to Florida

no, my son is not going there. 

GrannyP - it does seem like a LOT of SR's are headed to P'Cola after boot camp!

My son is also 195 and he is going to P'cola too!
