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 357-358.
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.

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!!!

I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate the website, I am just looking for other families with loved ones on this ship and division with PIR of November 2, 2012. I have really been struggling the last 2 weeks. I have actually gotten a call from my son, just 8 days after he got to BC because of the security clearance. It was hard because he sounded so tired and out of sorts. I know the first 2-3 weeks are the hardest. I am just trying to get through another week and hoping I will get a hand written letter soon.

My husband is in 358 and I just got 3 letters from him yesterday. One of them said he'd be able to call in a week or 2 (I think that letter was dated 9/17) so I'm hoping to get a call pretty soon here! Anyone else heard from their SR?
