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 365 & 366.

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 of the PIR Group to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area 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!!!

Julie, I think my son is becoming good friends with your son too he gave me his name. Gosh God is amazing how he puts things together.... I'm so excited that he is making awesome friends for life and things are getting better....

Hooray!!! I got a call last night from my SR!  It was 6 minutes and they were the best 6 minutes!  He sounded really good!  I am hoping everyone will be receiving a call soon.  I was in tears when I heard his sweet voice!

Did the families reservations tonight. We are staying at the Homewood Suites Hilton and we are gonna go to Sarge's Meet and Greet. We are gonna fly into Milwaulkee on Southwest. I feel like I can breathe now. I am getting so excited. My SR's letters are sounding more like he is doing well. Can't wait to see him.

No letter for me this week, back to being hard to wait for next contact and since I didn't get a phone call (called his dad instead) I am back to worrying about how he is doing.  Patience, patience.....

 

                     Kitten says Hello Good morning!                

                                         

                                               

                                              

Good morning everyone.  Hoping I hear from my SR this week. Are we really at the halfway mark???

Good morning everyone!  I wonder what are SR's are doing today since today is a  holiday. 

31 more days!! Whoopie!

Hi KarenS! I'm still figuring out this website and how to reply! I am from South Dakota, but we have only been here for 4 years. We moved from Omaha, Nebraska when my husband had a job opportunity he couldn't refuse! Where are you at in Pennsylvania? I'm a big Steelers fan because my dad lived in South Heights, PA. I'm glad to hear that their division is doing better! I haven't got a letter yet this week. 

So I got the questionaire back from my SR Our division is in week 4 day 3. They are in the middle of hell week. I can't wait to hear how he did.....

Well got a letter tonight said things are going better and days are going faster but he did lose his job as the "cadence dude" but didn't say why, maybe that means he doesn't have to eat last anymore. LOL.  Thinks he might be able to come home for christmas.  Was nice to see his handwriting.

Sooooo happy received my letter yesterday and my SR said that boot camp is getting easier and they had a lot of inspections coming up but their unit is doing better which is a big change from last weeks letter saying their unit is the worst ever and he felt like he was in prison.  LOL  I feel so relieved and happy :)  He asked me to find fun things for us to do in Chicago and the surrounding area while we are there for the weekend since he is staying GL for school we will hopefully have the entire weekend to spend together.  Hope everyone gets their letters and their SR's sound good! :)
