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 04 (USS Arleigh Burke) Divisions 810 and 811 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 810 and 811
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina, cor and a couple more ladies will be joining this discussion to answer your questions about the "800" division.
Although your SR is still in BC, what they are doing may be slightly different from what the other divisions in this training group are doing. It is also recommended that you go into your "settings" (clickable link on the right side) and change your privacy setting to "private" and change everything to friends only.
Please still use the main wall to post general questions, and concerns, such as meet and greet questions etc. Specific questions regarding the 800 division should be posted here.
We “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups as often as we would like to, and the ladies helping out with the 800 divisions don't always get to the main wall as often as they 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 ladies!!!

Dear DoxieMom:
I'm so excited you received letters from your SR & I'm sure we all celebrate with you :) My son is also in his division so I'm anxious as well. My son's penmanship is absolutely horrible (lol) and I'm sure his will be totally illegible but I may frame it like a Picaso. Can't wait to get to put names and faces together on 3/28. We're driving from 'Bama so we're having to head up on Wednesday. Praying for each of you and our precious ones everyday. Be strong Moms....our guys (and gals) are doing great things!!!

Hi, caustinrn... I am driving up from 'Bama as well. We'll be leaving early Thursday morning. Hopefully, early enough to be there in time for the meet & greet. I am wondering if your son is the one my son met & roomed with in Montgomery the night before he left. I am certain they are both in the 800 division. He said it was kind of an uncanny situation because the first person he ran into had the same type of contract & wound up being roommates.

I know you all are anxious to meet each other, but I would recommend that you do not give out personal information to others you have just met here on this site. YOU REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO!!!
OPSEC and PERSEC are a huge deal for everyone, but this group even more so than the others in BC. Be careful when sharing. No last names, no home phone numbers etc,.

Liberty, Nope you are not a nerd. :) When your sailors are out in the fleet you all will find most of the time you will not know where they are going until they reach their destination, and then you may never know exactly where they are and what they are doing.
Don't be afraid to post, but do be diligent about what you post and the information you give on a public forum, and social media.
