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 317 & 318 (brother divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 317 & 318. 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!
Please still use the main wall to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups as often as we would like.
Every single question 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!!!

See that's the one thing that I totally don't agree with...they should not be able to hold their mail I don't care what they've done....I've never agreed with that , being the spouse of a retired soldier and having worked as a DOD employee for 25 years....that is not right.

Yes esp since, as someone else put it, we are their only contact with the outside world. I said something in the beginning about the rain and she said she didn't notice because they "didn't get outside much".

My SR also said things in 317 are OK and they are beginning to work better as a team. Very relieved to hear that.

Hello all, my daughter is also in DIV 317..Have only recv'd the first call, box and form letter. Deff anxious to get another form of communication from her. We did get a little sentence on the form letter that said she loves us so much. We worked together as a family to try to educate her as much as possible as to what she was getting herself into. Praying it wasn't to much of a shock. Had her working with a personal trainer for 2.5 months before she left, put her swimming classes, watched YouTube videos, etc. Plus she had the BEST recruitors that really taught her well. I am excited to be part of the group and watch everyones SR's become SAILORS :)

I have my phone with me at all times. I even sleep with it. She would die if she knew that I can already picture her rolling her eyes at me....My daughter's name is Alexis too. We call her Lexi or Lex.

Hi everyone, my daughter is also in Div 317....just think, only 6 more (counting PIR) Fridays to go.....I did talk to my daughter today, she needed more info for her clearance package. Just for a few minutes but it was so good to hear her voice. She's pretty homesick but she told me that she'd received a "boatload" of letters and her face wash from me. I told her that I hoped they weren't too overwhelming and if they were, well, that was too bad. :). She did say that they had taken their first PFT, and she passed (YAY!!!). Hopefully we will all hear more soon.
