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 02 (USS Reuben James) Division 904 and 905 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 904 and 905
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!!!

Hello Moms of SRs in this Division. I am desperate for information, as you all are, too. If your SR called home, please post details of your conversation relating to other SRs. We would be thankful to hear of the goings-on of our boys/girls.

I was told phone calls may come 3rd or 4th week in but never count on anything. I did recieve a call yesturday at only 2 weeks in but it was to get information for his security clearance, so if you have SR's that need clearance you may be lucky and recieve an extra call or 2 as well. He sounded good and it was so compforting to speak to him, I feel blessed. Im sure our kids are all getting to know each other very well and I cant wait to hear about his new friends. Hopefully alot of them will move on to A school in Pensacola with him :)

Hi ladies! We got our first "real" letter today! It was dated 11/4. Son sounded great - so upbeat and positive! He says "Our RDC's are great. Very strict but can be very funny at the appropriate times." Wants to make sure we keep him updated on the sports scores!
I got everything set up with Sarge since we are not renting a car for PIR. He will shuttle us around and to and from the airport. Can't wait - we are ONE DAY CLOSER!
Now if we could just get a phone call!
