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 363 & 364.

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!!!

Good morning ellen:)

Hi Ellie, Welcome aboard hun. This forum has been something of a life line for most of us I think. It is really good to connect with others that have loved ones in BC and or in the same DIV at the same time. I think it makes our loved ones happy to know that while they are there, we are here connecting with each other too. I do have one regret about my phone call Sat. I was so excited that I forgot to wish her a Happy Birthday that is coming up this Sunday the 14th. I could just kick myself for not taking the opportunity to actually say it to her on the phone instead of in a letter.I should have taken the advice of the others that said write down what you want to say when they call LOL.

Leahann, We also got a call from our daughter on Sunday.  She mostly wanted to hear about what we had been up to.  It's just great information when I can hear about someone with their SR in the same division as my SR.  I too get so excited to hear from my daughter that I can't even think of anything new to ask her, just the basic how are you etc.  My SR is doing so awesome so I cannot wait to see her and everytime I think of the date getting closer it gets me so excited!  My husband and I will be staying at the Navy Lodge.  Hope to meet you on the 9th.

any one from div 363 get a call?

I got a letter today --- she said that she would be getting a phone call 'tomorrow' this was written on Sunday ---

I miss her so much! these last few days are going to be hard!
