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 329 and 330

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 aso in 11/329 and I haven't received a grad packet either

Rec'd another letter from our SR yesterday. We observe a remarkable change in his handwriting, his focus, his goals, his plans, his thinking....this is good!  Hope he calls today or tomorrow and cannot wait to see them 10/17.  Only 27 days to go!

Yay!

We did not get a phone call this weekend. I know I should not be surprised was lucky to get as many as we have gotten, just getting worried again I know they are getting into some pretty deep stuff now.I am back to not being able to sleep just can't stop thinking about him. hope all is well!

We did not here from our SR either praying for all of them this is really hard week for all 11/330

I am hoping for the long letter he said he would write this week, sounds like it might be a while before we get another phone call, unless they earn them as a reward. No news is good news, hang in there, only 3.5 weeks until PIR!

I received a letter yesterday ( must have gotten lost in mail) it was from 2 Saturdays ago. He had strep. but sounded great! he is enjoying his Bunk mate they sing lord of the ring songs. Katie02 thought you might like to hear that. It is having a positive affect on him.

That makes me smile! Thanks, they have been on my mind more than usually this week!

I just got our letter, and it isn't any longer than the others, but he said that things are coming together, IT isn't happening as much as it was, they are getting to know each other,  and that all they do is work out and study, it is boring yet fun ;)

19 days! Who else is excited! I can't wait to see my SR.

I know there are tons of pages and links, but can someone tell me if we get the weekend with our sailors or just the liberty day, of PIR? He is going to Florida for A school soon after PIR.

Any advice helps!

So excited! From what I understand you definitely get Friday, and then your SR could fly out either Sat or Sun from either airport. They will know when the time gets closer. You can hang out with them at the airport too while they wait for their flight. Hope that helps!

The waiting is killing me! I hope all is well with all of them
