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 Division Discussion for Divisions 001 and 002

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 of the PIR Group to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area 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!!!

Thank you so much for the Division Discussions! Good afternoon moms, wives, etc.! My step-son is Div 001. We are from South Jersey. Our SR will be going to Pensacola for A school. Hope to meet many more of you.

Hello everyone, my sr (wife) is in div002 and will be heading to San Antonio for A-school, it will be a big change in atmosphere as we live in northern Washington state and now she is great lakes then Texas

Hi Everyone, my SR (Husband) is in Div 002 and he is going to be staying at Great Lakes for A school. Oh and we are both from sunny San Diego, CA

Kirsten my son is in dIV 2 too and   he is staying in great lakes after PIR but I think he said he has C school then A school in San Diego.  We are from Florida

Scubed - So nice to meet you and we are in the same div how very cool lol. My husbands is going to be staying at Great Lakes for A school ( Fire control/ ET) and then C school at either San Diego or the east cost. 

By the way what job did your son sign up for?

Surface sonar tech. I think that is what it is called.

 

I will tell her but we are both originally from southern California so we enjoy the heat nd sunshine

Hi, My son is in DIV 001, ship 11.  We are from North Texas as well.  Im just learning this Navy stuff...are you traveling to PIR? 

I see some ETs and FCs in here. :) WooHoo!

Ellen0502- I am guessing your SR is going to A school for FC or Et. If so it's nice to meet you and it looks like we'll be spending a lot of time talking back and forth lol.

Actually my son finished A School in Dec, then went to San Diego for C School. He is now stationed in Japan on the Germantown. He is an ETSN and currently awaiting advancement to PO3. :)

My husband so badly wants to get stationed in Japan but at the same time he wants to have more kids. He's been told that the more kids you have the harder it is to get stationed outside the U.S.
