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."

This Discussion is for loved ones of Recruits in Divisions 337 and 338. These are Brother Divisions and your Recruits will be training together, so perhaps you would like to get to know each other on here.

Thank you. =)
I wondered that also but I believe there are like 88 people in each Div.  I might be wrong but I think I read that somewhere.  I feel bad for the SR that is being sent home, thats so sad.
Yeah he said he felt bad for the kid because he saw a lot of potential in him. My husband is like that though, he wants everyone to succeed as much as he will.

Thanks!!

Ladies - please send friend requests and then you can send private messages to each other.  Kate/Dans Mom - if I were you, I would delete this comment with my email address in it, or I can do it for you - this is a public site, and anybody in the world can see it.

 

Hang in there ladies.  it's going to get better.  the first few weeks are the worst and then they start working together much better.

Happy day!!!! 2 letters!

Please keep sending letters - even parts of your local newspaper.  My SR sounded fairly positive and appreciative.

That is great news, I have been wanting to send my son some info on the Browns & Indians.....we have joked that he is missing his teams more than he misses us.  I just didn't want to get everyone in trouble.
I've sent the comics every Monday!  My SR was referencing the comics and another article about the new cars.  I just sent them in a manila envelope, 6x9 size.
I didn't get a letter today but I did get a quick phone call he needed me to fax a copy of his birth certificate but it was awesome to hear his voice even for just a minute  or so!!! So excite for everyone who got a letter hopefully the rest of us will have letters tomorrow!!!

i wanted to ask are the divisions together like if 337 messes up they both get in trouble or are they just trainging together?

 

I got a letter today and my SR said that their division failed so I don,t think it would be 337 just 338. He said the week has been awful that a lot of the SR's got their wisdom teeth out and are on bed rest and he has nothing to do but sit on the floor.Some of the older groups have told them that it does get better. Lets hope PIR is still on track.
From what I understand PIR shouldn't be an issue. They only gave the people who had teeth removed 2 days to rest. (Not much if you think about it.) The biggest issue is them getting it together and passing things like inspections. It is only week 3 though.
