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 Division Discussion for Divisions 013 and 014
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!

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!!!

Well just got home from work. Checked the mail. No letter from my SR yet. Was so hoping there would be. Miss him a lot!! Everyone keeps saying it goes by fast. Not in my world. These have been the longest weeks ever so far! I do have another question though. Sorry to b such a pain but how do u make reservations for the meet and greet already? Also are any of your recruits going to San Antonio Texas for A school? Thanks for the help everybody. Like I said been a long couple of weeks I don't think my brain is functioning on all cylinders. L

That's awesome! I believe they will find out in the next week or two which job they get within Nuke. I keep forgetting to ask my son what he's going to put down as his top choice. I guess I'll find out soon enough!
We are almost to the halfway mark until BC is over and we can see them! Stay Strong, PIR will be here before we know it! :)

Hello ladies ! My SR is in div 014. 1proudnavymom & one other are the only ones I've found so far in the same division. Any others that you've seen, 1proudnavymom? I plan on attending Sarges M&G. I only live about 40mins away from GL, but I plan on staying at the Navy Lodge overnight. I hear you should arrive at PIR early in the a.m. I can't wait to meet other Moms at the Meet & Greet. I sure hope you will be able to make it to PIR Barbinjapan. I'll pray that it works out.
