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 181 and 182
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!!!

At the meet and greet some people were talking about having center pieces on the tables so you know which division is sitting there.

Hey, Hope your Mother's Day was wonderful. We had all the kids, one pregnant DIL and one SIL and one MIL!!! What fun around the table. Our daughter graduated from college this past Saturday and we had a post grad. dinner with the families of her roommates at their apartment. Now, in two days, we will fly to Chicago. It will be another fantastic graduation with a bit more class and style and a good bit more "white"!!! We are having thunder storms right now. I keep watching the weather for Chicago...it is supposed to rain on Friday. That will not dampen our spirits though. WE are very excited. Praying for those last events. Hope to meet you after graduation or at the airport as the SR's head out to A school. See you soon.

I read that calls don't come until the afternoon following the event. Supposed to start about 2:00 central time.
Checked the weather and again they call for rain on Friday Am.
On Thursday afternoon we are going to Navy Pier and take an Architectural tour by boat. That should be nice.
See you all on Friday PIR!
