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 299 and 300

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 am trying to connect with the moms of the SRs my son mentioned in his last letter.  I am just going to use initials, so if you recognize them, please send me a private message.  He is DIV 299, and mentioned a G.J., S.E., Z.T., S.B., N.G.  

Read on the FB page this morning 299 gets to call TODAY!   I sure do hope so! I am making sure my phone and Bluetooth are fully charged and ready to go!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Minionkgirl, what FB page did you see that on? We've heard our SR may be calling today as well.

They are calling now!  It was on the group page PIR 9-11-15 Navy Boot Camp

How so very wonderful to hear his voice!!!!!
He sounds so much better than the last call.
Hoping everyone gets to hear from their SR today.

How is everyone holding up?  3 weeks!! : D

3 weeks can't come soon enough! I miss my boy. 

Amen Sista!!

Amen!!! I cannot wait to just hold him and cry!!! Is your son in division 300 on Ship 06??? Would like to message with you if he is. Trying to find moms of some boys that my son told me about.
My son is in 299.. I am so looking forward to that hug!!

Hi Everyone...we have 2 weeks!!! I am so excited for all of us. I cannot wait to see my son. He is in DIV 299. He has told me that he has met a lot of "cool guys" and that everyone has been coming together as team much much better. My son has been in really good spirits when I read his letters they make me feel much better knowing he is okay. This is like the first day he got on a school bus :-) I was a nervous wreck for him. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. Hoping for these days to go by as fast as possible for all of us. 

So glad to hear that they are finally coming together!  Yes, 2 weeks!! : - )   I get goose bumps just thinking about.  Keeping them all in my prayers that God gives them each the strength they may need to get through these next 2 weeks.  Hugs to you all!

Yes!  So excited to see our boy!  His letters have been more encouraging as well: "I'm so excited about the next 2 weeks!"  This made my heart smile.  :)
