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 013 and 014
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.

Hi Insewa! My son is Div 013 too. I hope a letter or call gets to you soon! I would be so lost without this website too! Hang in there!
Yes, if they are staying at Great Lakes he will have more free time with you on the weekend! My sons A School is in South Carolina, so he will most likely fly out the next day. I'm planning on going to the Meet & Greet too and staying in IL until Sunday (just in case by some fat chance his flight is on Sunday :) ). I'm looking forward to meeting you all and I can't wait for PIR to see my son!
