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 273 and 274
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!

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!!!

Hi all, would you please say a prayer for my SR? He's going to have his records reviewed tomorrow and that will be the thing that decides if he continues on through the last two weeks (and graduate!) or if he gets sent to separation division. Thank you so much!

Happy Sunday to all! It won't be long now. Div 273 had a great week 4 for inspections and drills. I pray Week 5 had the same results. Let us all pray for a successful and productive Week 6 for both Divisions 273 & 274. My candle is burning for my SR. I miss him so!

Do you know how they did on there fire drills? and if they have done the gas chamber drill yet?

My son gave my a drill score, which I have no idea what it meant, but there was an exclamation behind the score. Not sure if it was the fire drill or not. He was waiting for one score - I think it was shooting, but I'm not certain. He indicated that they would do the gas chamber during the week. I won't hear from him until Thursday to know if it actually happened. He told me he passed his RDC PFAs. Does that mean he won't repeat them on this week (Week 6)? I ask because I read somewhere that the 3rd PFA is what counts.

It sounds like we are a lot alike!! LOL RDC PFA BFF OMG lol they are all acronyms and we have no clue to what they mean! (please don't take offense to that)
Im not sure about the third PFA I apologize for not being much help
Just keep praying and keep your blue candle lit (ive got three lit one for my son, one for a lost sailor, and one for a future sailor)

Yes, the 3rd PFA is the one that the SR must pass in order to do BattleStations. The first 2 are more like practice.

Karen93 - I haven't heard anything yet. I'm really hoping no news is good news.

Yes, so true. If he had a status change, he would have called. Can't believe I'm saying "Glad you didn't get a phone call". LOL

I checked the forecast for PIR and there's a 70% chance of rain. Even that won't spoil such a special day! Pack your umbrellas! I'm getting so excited about seeing my future sailor and first born son!
