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 12 (USS Triton) Divisions 023 & 024 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 023 & 024
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!!!

They come from sherv.net just silly emoticons and lots of them.
The easiest way to find this group is to use the tabs at the top of the page, main, invite, "my page" etc. If you click on the "Groups" tab it takes you to a page with all the groups on the site. Just under the tabs and to the left you will see "All Groups" and "My Groups". Click on the "My Groups" link and it will give you a page that brings up all the groups you have joined.
You can also go to the main page of this PIR and bookmark it. Once you bookmark it and open your browser (don't know which one you are using) there should be a link at the top that says bookmarks, when you click on it it gives you a pull down menu (or something like it) and it will show this group. Click that link and it should bring you to this groups page (or whichever page you bookmarked.)
Yes, this site reads up and down (grrrrrr). The main comment wall current posts are right at the beginning. In the discussion groups the current posts will be on the last page.

Oh ok, I've been doing that so far, but I think the book mark will simplify it some.
Many Thanks to you Ellen for ALL that you do!!!

I finally got a letter! I was so excited to see the envelope in the mail box! Almost couldn't read it because I was tearing up! He is doing well, said things aren't that hard, he was sore from PT at first but not too bad. Sounds like things are going well. I'm so looking forward to more letters and a phone call. Hopefully I will see more postings of people getting letters today. My son said he got his first mail call Saturday night.
