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 discussion group for divisions 329 & 330. 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 to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups 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!!!

Morning ladie, I also Got a call from My SR Sat, the first min were awful he sobbed but as it went on it got ALOT better.  Hoping he will find more enjoyment in this upcoming week. 

I'm so glad you got to your son on Saturday and he felt better. She said their RDC allowed the calls hoping to boost morale. It's so hard hearing them upset. I pray they have a better week.

Hope he has a better week! My daughter said it has been kinda rough but the diivison is managing. so glad to hear he is doing better. I sent you a friend request. I don't post much but I do inbox if you need to talk:)

Hi, I'm new to the NAVY for Moms site and just joined. My son is Dan and he is in Ship 03 Div 330. It is so good to read that some of the other kids have been able to call home and write. I haven't received a personal letter or a phone call from my son yet, but I'm hopefull that I will soon! It's nice to "meet" all of you here online and I hope to get to see some of you at the Meet and Greets.

Welcome gillianmv6! So happy you found this site. It has been a life saver for me. Hope to see you at the Meet & Greets also. My husband & I are going to Sarge's. Don't forget to join the main group discussion under our PIR date 10/12/12.

A letter will be coming soon! Hang in there.

hello..I sent you a friend request. Welcome. I'm don't post much but I am here reading :)

Thanks for the warm welcomes @babbs and @Rachel-E's mom. My husband and I are going to be driving out from NY so not sure if we will make it to Great Lakes in time for the meet & greets but we will sure try our best. From what I have read Sarge's is the one to attend.

My son Christopher is in 330 and i received my first letter last Tuesday plus he was able to call that same night for a second to see how we survived the hurricane. The first letter i got was very emotional didn't talk about boot camp much just how much he missed me and his  brothers. Saturday he earned a 15 min phone call so i talked to him a little longer still he was very homesick he did say he was doing well in his training i'm counting down the days till graduation i miss him so much. After boot camp he will be going to Pensacola for A school for 17 weeks and don't know after that he goes to C school but i don't know where
