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 019 & 020

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!!!

My son has transferred to this division (20) about a week ago -- In general-- was your husband happy with the division?   --We haven't heard anything in 5 weeks and we're desperate for information...

I cannot wait until we get a letter    :/

60088-3156

thank you very much

where are you all from??

I have the same address as below - the zip is 60088-3156

My boyfriend is in 020

My son transferred to this division about a week ago -- Can you tell me how they are doing?   --Our son has been gone 5 weeks and we've heard nothing.    We're desperate--I'm desperate.

hey for you guys hoping to receive calls I suggest you write down the key questions you want to ask because it is so hard to stay calm and think straight when you here you child's voice. My son has called twice only allowed 2 mins. and got almost no info. of course someone standing over him listening and telling him his time was up. Hopefully your calls will be completely different..my son was move back two weeks and into you division and we still do not know why. But think about what you want to ask before hand because hearing their voices is so emotional.

That's great advice Lorie! Thank you! I had similar thoughts because now that I know she will be able to come home for Christmas we need to discuss booking plane tickets, etc. I guess I need to keep a piece of paper in my pocket along with my phone. ;)

Pleas let us know when you hear something about your son!

I will thanks I know the swimming test is done early on in Boot camp I was guessing they are beginning  week 3? does that sound right to you??
