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 337 & 338. 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.

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!!!

Hi Nancy! Just letting you know that NUKE is only maybe 25 mins from my house. I will be happy to meet your son and offering to help out in any way that I can. My son will be going to A school in Pensacola, FL. I can't believe we've almost made it and can't wait to see my boy next week!!!! Seriously, I'm happy to help your son, should he ever need a place, a fill-in mom, clean laundry? I have learned through this website that all of us moms stick together!!!!

Hi LoriM, My son is in 337 as well. Nope, haven't had a letter since the form letter. Really hoping one comes today. Kevin is 18, just out of high school. We live in Vancouver, WA. Take care!

Hey Heidemarie, Kevin is my son in 337, he's a little over 6 ft tall, has blond hair--when he has hair! Vancouver WA is where we're from...my husband Skip & I and my mom and step dad (retired Navy) will be at Sarge's M&G and at PIR. We're staying at the Navy Lodge too.
That's a great idea about SRs without family there. I keep thinking about those not getting letters as well. I wish there were a way to find out who and help in that way. My youngest son's soccer team could write letters to them...or something like that. Hugs to you & your daughter! -

Hey Debbie! My husband and your son sound pretty similar (physically at least). My hubby is Ship 3 Div 337 too and he is 6'1 and blond (when he has hair) too!! My husband is 23 yrs old. He was by far the oldest while in DEP. I've written and sent 3 letters so far but still no letter from him just like you guys =( Hopefully this next week we will get one. My husband is VERY parsimonious when it comes to communicating information so I am afraid I will feel like he should have written more. But I hope our boys are doing well!!!

I sure hope so too...both in getting a letter and they're doing well! Can I tell Kevin your husband's first name?

Sure you can!! My husbands name is Nathan. We are from Oklahoma =)
