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 233 and 234
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!

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!!!

Can we each ware a name tag when we are in the stands for each Division at PIR? Or even a tag that says Navy4 Moms or have some way of alerting each of us so we can visit before the ceremony. There is a long time that one is there waiting.

Any calls yet from any of our SR's today? Some other divisions have started making calls.

Missed my call today, for some reason my phone didn't ring, but he called my husbands phone right after and I was with him, thank god. My SR seemed to be fighting a cold right now,but all else is good. Says he is eating well and getting stronger. Seemed a little down while talking to him this time, I guess and hope that is to be expected. I'm sure he's a little home sick at this point. Happy for all the families that received their calls today! We are half there!
