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 343 & 344. 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.

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Nor have I, but my SR said that this past week was all firefighting and tear gas, and that he has been far busier than during the first month. I am also suddenly super impatient for this Friday, and the fact that I am on Fall Break instead of in the middle of my usual, "Oh God oh God I have so much homework to finish" doesn't help.

Hi I,m Shanny, And My son is also on Ship14 Div 344 . Not Heard from Him for at Least over 2 weeks.
He will be staying in GL for A School. Wish I could attend his graduation but 15 hundred Dollars is Wayy too much money for this single Mom, to fly to GL for the weekend.
Wishing All the Graduates Much Success in their New Careers!
