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 337 & 338. 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 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!!!

Oops! I'm getting mixed up...Kellee has the daughter! Hahaha! Can you tell I'm old?!
We'll work on that! Have a great week!
That's a great idea...I'll check the Hallmark here too. You rock Heidrmarie!!

Thank you Kellee!!! What a great site!

 My son Mitch is ship 03 div 337..

So sad today! Still no letter or call. :(

I know what you mean...not liking the mailman much! These ladies & gents will keep your spirits lifted...I know they have mine!

Hello all.....Josh is in 338, dark short (lol) hair, glasses about 5'6", he's 19, been in DEP since November waiting to go....

NO letter since form either. I really want some info......names of friends etc.  Anyone tell me where to find the questionaire, I printed it out and was missing a page, and now cant find it. Thanks.

Oh if you want to ask Josh from Fullerton, Mom Nancy.

I do believe our were the last divisions to be formed in this PIR date.  the only thing Josh said on a surprise first Sunday there call was that they did yell a lot but he was not singled out. 

I am hopeful one of us will get a call or note or something soon....funny how if one of you gets one we all benefit.

Happy Sunday and Monday.

Nancy

That's true...like someone said before, we all live vicariously through other parents' letters!

Hi Everyone...Hope your weekend is going well! I have a question...is there a shuttle from Midway to the Navy Lodge? Hugs to you all!! 

Evening all!! My son Blake is in 337...he's about 6' and is a red head now sporting those BCG which was a total surprise to us! He will be going to A school in San Antonio for MA. Only letter received was the form letter, we were lucky enough to get the "I've arrived" call and an additional call which was 9 minutes long (yes, I checked the time!). We won't be attending the Meet & Greet but will be at PIR. We live right on the IL/WI border so a hotel won't be necessary for us - we should have enough time that he can actually come home!! Here's to hoping we're all reporting tomorrow night about the letters we opened.

I know most of you guys live in states that aren't as land locked as we are here in OK. But I have to say I am getting more and more excited about my hubby's A school in Pensacola FL for Air Traffic Controller!!! It's 20 weeks long so that part won't be fun, but visiting him will be a fabulous beach getaway for me =) I've seen a few of your SR's A school locations. Is anyone else going to Pensacola?

Afternoon friends!! I have been checking my emails all day @ work...has anyone gotten a letter today?? I won't know until I get home after 5...I figure if anyone else has chances are good I will too. :0)
