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."

Ship 09 (USS John F. Kennedy) Divisions 355-356 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 355-356.
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!

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!!!

Anyone here worried that PIR may get delayed? I bought our flight and hotel tickets last night and heard in a letter received today that some are not doing well and as a group can that hold them back?

I don't think they would hold an entire division back....I know they have sent several SR's back though. Hopefully by the next letter we receive, things will have come together for 356 and 355. :)

I learned that they can't hold an entire division back. Only those SR's that are pushed back. I was v relieved to learn this!

Did anyone hear about the liberty process? I received a letter from my husband who is on ship 9 div. 56 that they will only get to spend time with the family for a few hours on grad day and thats it. No weekend liberty. He is a grad and stay so anyone know what's going on?

Liberty depends on each individual and what they are doing after PIR. Some will only have a few hours on Friday, some all weekend and some only time at airport to hug and say Gbye.

We are staying at The Marriott and look forward to seeing all these great Moms at Graduation! Our son has been really great about writing and we got one really good phone call. His 6 year old baby brother is missing him and was so happy to get a letter just for him this week! I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
