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 14 (USS Arizona) Divisions 287 and 288 (Brother Divisions)

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 287 and 288

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!!!

I asked my SO and he got a little upset I didn't receive anything lol... I guess for our division, the recruit/mail officer didn't get the mail out by cutoff time ... so expect double this week!

So, can i ask those that have SR's in DIV 287 to post here or on FB when you start receiving calls.  Maybe they know what's up with our SR's in DIV 288!!!  Here's to the weekend everyone!  Hope we all get some good phone calls.

Very sad. No letter still this week. It's much harder knowing how homesick he sounded the last time.  I really hope #288 gets to call soon. :*(

I just got a call from my SR in Div 287. He's doing great. So good to hear from him. There were still lots of people waiting to use the phones, so hopefully everyone else will get calls too, even Div. 288.
