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 351-352.

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!!!

Hi my name is Lisa. I have a daughter in div 352. Does anybody have family members in that div?  My family is from Pennsylvania. Is anyone going to the PIR on 11/2? We are staying at the Ramada. Is anyone going to the meet and greet there?

Hi Lisa, My daughter is ship 12 div. 352.  We are defiantly going to the PIR on the 2nd.  We are staying at the Navy Lodge.  We are from Florida.  Still have not made plane reservations as I am nervous about non-refundable tickets.  But according to her letter she has passed the water portion.  But I know there are a lot of things they have to pass.  It sounds like they are doing well.  I am also on a Facebook sight called PIR 11/2/12, a great bunch of people and more of the moms from 351/352 are on there.  I know they would love to have you on there if you haven't found them yet.  A bunch of us are going to Sarges meet and greet!  Hope to see you there:)  Laurie

Hi Lisa and Laurie! I saw that you haven't booked your flights bc you were nervous. I booked ours last week and found a place on there where you can pay 24.95 extra for insurance in case something changes. I'm not sure if you're interested in that, but I just wanted to make sure that you new about it. It doesn't come up until you go to the page where you pay and pick your seats and stuff like that but it is on there,

Hi Kim,  what airline are you flying?  Thanks for the info:)

Also did you book with the airline directly or did you use a site like Priceline?  Thanks.

Hi LIsa, my son is in 352, we are from Florida and plan to go to the PIR, we are going to stay at the Hampton Inn in LIbertyville.  We are not sure if we will get there in time for the Meet and Greet, where will your daughter be going for A school?  Mine will be at San Antonio.

I booked mine with american airlines but I used travelocity.com. a while bk I booked a flight through cheapoair.com and they had the same ins. Agreement
Im betting they all offer it, they just don't show it until u start putting the info in to pay. Not positive tho

Thank you so much, I am going to start my search for airfares.  Thank you:)  

Good morning! My name is Shirley and my daughter is in div 351. I live in Virginia. We got our first letter from her yesterday and she says she really likes it! 

Hi Shirley,   My daughter is in div 352 but I know the two groups work together:)  I know a lot of us moms are on multiple sites, are you on the PIR 11/2/12 on FB?  Nice to meet you and hope we all stay in touch
