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 345-346.
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

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Thank goodness we received 2 letters today and drum roll please........... A phone call ! Our son sounds for the most part upbeat . He said division 346 is a good mix of experienced men and women. He just turned 18 lol. Mentioned several times how huge the letters are so keep them coming people. He passed his initial PFA so on to bigger and better things ! What a relief to finally hear he is okay. : )
