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 11 (USS Kearsarge) Divisons 317 and 318 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 317 and 318
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!!!

All of those posting in this group discussion (besides me) have a recruit in either division 317 or 318 (brother divisions), those two divisions train together from start to finish. The girls in her brother division, 317, also "bunk" together, so she will know many from both divisions.
All those posting in the main page have recruits with a 9/25 PIR date.

Received another letter today! She's doing great, division 317 isn't really getting yelled at anymore. She's loving it now.
Her closest friends in division 317 are Maddie, Peige, Carissa and Viviad. Anyone recognize these as your girls? -
