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!

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!!!

CoTwin:  congrats to your SR and Div 233!!!  That is awesome news

Co-twinssailorsmom: Thanks for the update, last phone call I received my son said they had won both flags and they were hoping to win more this wk. I was so happy when we hung up, I just know they are all doing well now.
Hi ladies, is anyone attending sages meet and greet? I will be there. I was wondering if we need to make our DIV placement for the table. Or if someone has already done this? Thanks. (:
Hi Amber.. I'm going to make our Div sign for the Sundance saloon meet and greet, but no reason why we couldn't have two if you also wanted to do one. :)

I went to the meet and greet last time and don't feel like I need to go twice.  Good info, but a little to drawn out.  I felt there was not much time for meeting and greeting. 

Kim awesome. Thanks for letting me know. Co Twin thanks for the heads up.

If any of you feel there are some ways that Sarge can improve his MeetandGreet (i.e., if you feel it is drawn out like CO Twin said), please be sure to make suggestions to him.  He wants to be sure that he is giving you all the type of MeetandGreet you want, but he also wants to make sure you get the info you need.  Maybe he needs to balance the info part with more socializing!  :-)

Oh I didn't mean to be critical!!  But you are right that the social part could be better, also Either during social time have more light, He also could assign tables to Div #'s then you could find people easier.  We rally didn't meet anyone there I had hoped to meet.  I was kind of nervous and overwhelmed at the time.

We are getting close ladies!!! Cant wait to see you all at PIR!

Not sure if anyone still follows this group.  Here we are almost one year later.  I still get goosebumps thinking about PIR.  How is everyone?  Where are your Sailors?
