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 001 and 002
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.

Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

OnlySonNavyBound, have you heard from your son? I got one phone call on 10/2. None since, haven't expected more yet. And no letters. Not sure my sons gonna write me. I told him not to feel like he had to. I've been doing enough writing for both of us.

Jerzeymom, neat. You booked Hilton too. I guess if I find out when we see them at pir that he doesn't fly out till Sunday, I'll stay in town, great lakes, Friday night, and do Hilton sat night. I'm so in town till Tues. My oldest son and grandkids live in the area.

Hi Texasmom
My daughter is Div 001 and am so psyched for PIR. Unfortunately I will not be attending the meet and greet since I will be arriving around 9ish, but will definitely be having a cocktail.
