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."

Hi all, my daughter is in Div 346. I'm not very good about posting but I read the posts pretty regularly. My husband and I will be going to PIR and we are definitely on the list. We will be staying at the Residence Inn and going to Sarge's Meet and Greet on Thursday evening. I hope to meet lots of people there. I'm very nervous for Battlestations since I just read a book that described it really well. I am sending out prayers for all.

Hi Ladies! My son is on SHIP 11 DIV 345.
I am sure everyone is excited as we'll be with our kids in 8 days! Hopefully! We got a letter today. He said they did the gas chambers last Tuesday in Aug. Didn't say he liked it just mentioned that he survived it. Also stated that they are really getting strict as far as inspections & everything else. 3 strikes & you're ASMO'D at least a week. He said it was more stressful to him cuz he wants to PIR on the 13th. Take care.

Glad they are finished the gas chamber!! I was worried about that! Oh geez, I hope all goes well with inspections, my daughter also said they are being pretty tough with them as well. Hopefully, they all do what they need to do!

I rec'd a letter (3rd questionnaire) from my son today! He sounded great! Said their final PFA was Tuesday (9/8), Test #3 (?) was Wed., and final Drill today. He said that DIV 346 has won every flag. He also said that the gas chamber wasn't that bad and that he had a funny story to tell us about that next week! Looking forward to seeing him and meeting all of you!

Correction for above. Div 346 final PFA should have been Tuesday, 9/3, per letter. Sorry!!

Hi All
Appreciate the updates, as I have not heard from my son, as of yet this week.
This is getting very exciting and yet, I cannot help but be on pins and needles for all of them
I keep trying to visualize the excitement and pride they are going to feel donning those Navy Caps.
Looking forward to meeting everyone at Sarge's next Thursday.
