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."

Are they in the same division or have the same PIR date?

I was thinking that week 2 is over and they were onto day 5 of week 3 but not sure, hence week 2 day 5. I was confused too:-) My SR did say that this past Friday was Week2 Day5.

Divisions and brother divisions will be on the same training day and week, but the other divisions and their brother divisions in the same TG would could be on a different week or day. They all would have most likely started processing and training at different times (except brother divisions).

Hi everyone, I recieved my first letter last Thursday and my phone call on Friday. The best week so far!! I've been doing some reading and it seems that this division is a "performance" division. Has anyone heard/read the same thing?

(Ship 2 Div 950)...I read this as well. My son has a music background. One of the things I miss right now.

My son's a writing maniac!! Three more letters for us and his girlfriend as well. He's been fitted for dress whites, blues, service uniforms, blue coveralls, and his peacoat. Sounds stoked about everything. Mentions how hard it is. Especially since this division is held to a higher standard (kinda cool, really). Enjoys folding clothes..hilarious. Talked about them sharing pictures of family, appreciating the little things in life. WOW.

Hi everyone!! Does anyone have a SR with the last names that start and end with Ca...pi, or Mo...ry? I've found 2 of the names that my son mentioned in his letters :) Stephanie, your fiancé was probably easy to spot, not to many names start and end with K :)

My SR just wants to pet a dog! He thinks that having pets around would be good for morale.
