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."

Division 356 Mustering In!!

Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you can support each other in those issues here.

That's what my son said also..it sounded like they might get more free time this week at NEX also. I am so excited to see him & to meet everyone at the PIR. Safe travels to you and your family if you are coming a distance. Luckily for me, it's only about a 2 hr drive. I'm in Northern Indiana on the other side of Lake Michigan. The weather forecast looks good - cool but sunny for PIR (50's but sunny). Have a great day Erica

Hi everyone from the 356. If there is anyone out there that wants to check on their fellow recruit--my daughter who broke her leg during the last PFA- 3 days prior to BS21 --- I gave Lynne her name & location at the VA medical Center.

I expect she'll still be there when PIR comes around as she's had a few set backs with dizziness & her labs being off.

She needs all the motivation she can get--but if she does get moved back to RCU--I'll post it here--but I highly doubt that'll happen before Friday. She wasn't allowed to walk over the weekend due to the dizzy lightheaded feeling she was getting. Just bed to wheelchair was all she could do. Which won't help her get to the RCU any faster!

Here's a pic of us--just before I had to leave to come home!

Plus her roommate would love it too--as she's from Alaska--& doubt she'll get any family visits any time soon. She was only week 3.

How cute! Looks like she is keeping her spirits up...and you two look a lot alike! My son was the medical yeoman for this group so I am sure he had to write up her paperwork. I will give him her VA info and hopefully he will have time to check up on her. May God be with you both until this trial ends!

Need help division 356...looking for someone to either to hug a new sailor or shake his hand for Laryssa Reyes who is heartbroken that she will not be able to make her husband's graduation on November 5. I know it's not the same as being there, but hopefully it will make it a little easier on both of them. My son is in division 360 and I am just worried that by the time I'm done hugging him that maybe Sailor Reyes won't be in his spot on the floor anymore....ANYONE who is in the same division willing to hug another sailor please???
