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 243 and 244

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!!!

Nothing like taking it right down to the wire...Good luck to her!  You are packed and ready to go, right?  You better be, because she's going to make it!

Thanks for the encouraging words but I'm sad to say she didnt pass it.  She is RCU/FIT now (I think) and I'm frantically searching for a site for this group and information about how long they stay there. 

Here's hoping yours heals up quickly and she gets back to the task at hand!  Many wishes for a speedy recovery!

Cindyloohoo:  I posted the link to the FIT site for you on the main PIR page.  That was the FIT site.  Is she still in RCU?  Because she has to be released from there before she can be in FIT.  You can find the RCU group on here by just going to the "groups" tab up top and putting in RCU in the search bar.  I just posted the FIT link for you because I thought that was where she was.  Hoping she is up and "running" soon! 

I left a message for you on the main PIR 6/28 page and posted info about RCU/FIT there for you.

Your SR will make it, and the staff at RCU/FIT will work very closely with her to help make it happen.

Thanks for the well-wishes for my SR...they are truly appreciated!

Kaleigh's Gramma and Cindyloohoo--one thing I noticed about our sailors is how they really help each other out.  In our time with them on Friday and Saturday I was always seeing examples of the support and "I've got your back" attitude...be reassured that they aren't on their own--they have buddies standing by them, willing to walk through anything with them...

How do we order division shirts?

SR have a sheet with their pictures that gives the information on ordering divison tshirts... division 244 is an awesome tshirt.

for t-shirts and sweatshirts # is 847-623-3959 or www.AOMWR.com  also found the number posted in a prior discussion to call about pictures--very sweet lady gave me Fed Ex tracking number for my sailors pictures

Hello moms/spouses/friends!!!   I joined the navy for moms group Heads at Ease that makes pillow cases for sailors about to be deployed---my goal is to get one made for each of the sailors that graduated in these two divisions before they move on from A school--if I hit that goal I would like to do the entire class!!!!  So--if you would like to help--friend me and get names and numbers at your various A schools so we can get this done.....thanks for your help
