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."

Ship 14 (USS Arizona) Divisions 025 & 026 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 025 & 026
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!!!

Hi pagemom. The pictures are on the RTC Facebook book. You shouldn't have a problem finding them, unless you are on the wrong FB page. If you go to FB and in the search box type "navy recruit training", the first one listed should be the official page. I noticed when I searched it, more than one page came up so I think you may have "liked" the wrong one. When you are on the official page look for "random pictures 16 October" (should be the second or third post). There are about 30 pictures and division 025 is the last two!! Hope this helps. Good luck finding them.

Good Morning everyone, Yes kristin you are correct this does suck I thought going thur this with my oldest son sucked but now going thur this with my youngest really sucks. Thursday was the day I received letters from my oldest. So I guess I will be stalking my mailman today. Kristin they can send letters to anyone, they dont have alot of time to write at first but I think it was after week 3 they had time to write on Sunday and Wednesday's.

SR "Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial
Ship 14, Div 026

Wish they had Div 26 on the FB page! Would love to find a pic of him. Miss him terribly!
