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."

Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 321 & 322. 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.

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 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!!!

What hotel did you book Katie? Still not sure which one to go with?

 

I booked Courtyard Marriott. One room suite with 2 queen beds for $149/night.

 

My son is the same ship and div.No mail from my son either:( It is really heavy on the heart I must say.

Has anyone got a call or real letter yet? I'm still waiting!!

Hi Kc yes i got a letter on Monday .It was postmarked on the 15th. It did take a while to get here though. Maybe today if your fiance sent one out on Sunday .I hope so .Hang in there .

I got my fisrt letter today from my son!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful feeling !!!!!!! And there goes the waterworks once again!! He actually wrote the letter on the 15th. They must hold the mail for a little while before they send it out or the SR in charge was still learning mail detail. He says it's not so bad . He said he got his cammy's today !!! "I felt awesome," he said but has to wait till the final stage. He seems o.k. He definitely misses us but says"everytime I think of everyone from home I just smile". That's my sweetheart of a son!!!!! Hope you all get letters real soon!!!!!!Have a great day!!!!!!!!

YAY!! That's great Sandi! Congrats! 

That is sooooo exciting! I got goosebumps! Hopefully I will have a letter when I get home from work!

Katie did you get a letter today?

I got a letter! Lizzy sounds amazing! She is 1 of 6 sections leaders that is leading the marching! She said boot camp isn't that bad but is homesick! She can't wait to hug me! That makes me feel really good! She didn't mention once that she wants to come home! She wrote to her great grandma, 2 sets of granparents , her aunt and her boyfriend also! She told me to write everyday if I want to! I guess that twice a week isn't enough! I need to step it up! They had a fire in the laundry room but not on her floor. She said no one was hurt but it was scary! I am soooooooooo happy! She also said that she misses her little brother and thought she would never say that! HAHAHA

So happy for you Katie;) Keep those letters coming . I even have cards that I send just to send a little humor that way. I find dog cards to and send them from our dog as well.My son will love that .Happy letter writing.Oct5th can't come quick enough!!!!!

Great idea!!!! I need to send a letter from her puppy! She misses her and said that she hopes that she rememebers her! I am so glad and proud that these kids are so upbeat under the circumstances! Did you get your room booked Sandi?
