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 Division Discussion for Divisions 339 and 340
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.

Got a great letter from my SR today! He listed his 'good friends' as Koudri from Togo, Davis and Wilson from Tennesee, Blackburn from Alabama and Kane ("don't know where he is from but he's the other maie nuke in the division")!! Any takers, please friend/message me and we can chat about our 'boys'!!!!!!

Mail -- how exciting! I'll be stalking the mailman tomorrow -- seems we still have the pony express delivering mail here in Idaho. LOL I think it is great when they can connect with others in their division -- and it is even more cool when they connect with others in their rate as they will likely end up in A school together after bootcamp. :)

Received a letter today! It was addressed to his 12 year old brother though -- so no mail for mom. LOL He sounded good and appreciates the "sports" updates his little brother is providing him. Stated little things like that from the "outside world" are big moral boosters. He indicated they haven't done anything too exciting so far -- but that it should pick up and move pretty fast with Week 4 (Hell Week). Hoping everyone else gets mail from their SRs today as well!

I haven't really thought about that with being nervous about the trip and working. We are coming from Texas. I checked out the site and it is a nice looking coin.
