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 333 & 334. 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!!!

Happy Saturday!!!

Hey there!  Can't believe its only 37 days away :)

Good Morning All!  I hope I get a letter today!! Is there anyone else out there that hasn't gotten a letter yet?  I hope I am not the only one.

I got it today! It was dated 8/28 and he said they has just gotten a mail PO. I couldn't read the postmarked date, but I know that the form letter took 3days to get to me.

I hope you get your letter soon.  I did get mine, very short from a very tired SR.  But he sounded very positive, and this Mom was trying to read between the lines.. lol

My SR 's mother got a letter Thursday, hoping for one soon! ( I am the step mom:0)). Hang in there!!!

We got ours last Thursday..... hoping for another one soon!!!  Cannot wait for PIR!!!

 

Where is everybody?

Right here...... Ship 14 - DIV 334 also!!!  PIR 10/12, excited and miss him like crazy!!! How about you?  Going to PIR???

I am new to this group and I am so glad I found my son's division moms and family group. He is in Div. 334 and I received 2 letters this past weekend (1 for me and 1 for his dad) in one envelope. I guess they're having some problems with some recruits and there is a lot of IT for them. But his P.S. was that he actually is having fun. We are from So Calif.

Coco-

My son is div. 333 . What is IT for them?? Our family is in Riverside, CA. Is your family going back for the PIR? We got our first letter last week, short and sweet! love to hear any information you got!!

IT is intensive training. They have to keep doing it over and over because they won't stop talking. My  son says there are times he just want to hit somebody. I guess someone wrote a personal letter along with the 1st "form letter" and their RDC's took away recruit letter writing time so he was writing during the time he was suppose to be sleeping. Yes, my husband and I will be going. I think we're going to stay at the Ramada. A friend stayed there last year during her son's PIR. She said it was nice and they provide a shuttle. Oh we live in Garden Grove.
