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 13 (USS Marvin Shields) Divisions 253 and 254 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 253 and 254
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 is in 253. Got one letter so far... hoping to get another one soon. Of course a phone call would be even better - we missed his first real call a week ago. :-( I just need to actually ASK him how he's doing and HEAR what he has to say!!

Got a call AND a letter from my son in div 253 today! We are SOOOO happy to finally hear from him! He sounded great, and said things are going very well for everyone. Heads up: in his letter he said he had found out he would be allowed to call on 6/27 (today) AND on 7/4. I can't wait to talk to him again!

We just got back the questionnaire I sent to my SR a while ago, and in it there was a question about winning a flag... he said that "Our division has won the scholastic flag for outstanding test scores." Just thought I'd share - our SR's are doing good! :-)
