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 103 and 104

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!!!

Haven't heard anything from my Son since last Wed, hoping for a letter tomorrow :)
No news here...seems lots of other div have had calls this week and ppl got letters today...looks like 104 is on radio silent :( any one get letters they can share?
On the 4th they got their uniforms. My husband said their peacock is the best coat he's ever worn. He said they have to take turns shoveling snow every 2 hrs. They wear layers upon layers of clothing to keep them warm. And they get got 8hrs of sleep one night, he thinks it was bc of Super Bowl game. He said they have to do push-ups pretty much every morning bc some of the younger SRs are always getting in trouble.
Thank you! Love hearing every bit of news!

Haven't heard anything from 103 since last Wednesday either.

 

My SRs in 103 and haven't heard anything since last Wednesday.. The next call goes to his mama but she hasn't said anything.. Really wishing I could hear his voice.. Snowed in and going stir crazy in Georgia.

Woohoo 2 letters today! Happy dance at the mailbox! :D

No letters for me today:( Just hoping everything is ok.

I got a letter from my son yesterday, he had his bottom wisdom teeth removed on Feb. 5th. He said he was a little sore, but doing ok. He was happy he had passed his swim test & the 1st big computer test they had! He said he likes his glasses & they're comfortable, but if I wanted to send him a pair of contacts for PIR that would be great! I'm happy he's adjusting well & he sounds so grown up in his letters!!

Oh thank you so much for sharing! Awesome news! : )

Laurablue; My son also has glasses. You mentioned that your son asked for his contacts, is that something we can do because I am sure my son would love his contacts too. Are we allowed to mail things like that? Does anyone know?
