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 808
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 808.
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 you to answer your questions about this "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!!!

Welcome to 800 BC. As you will eventually figure out it is a bit different for your sons that other division groups. Their days start earlier and involves ALOT of PT(Physical Training).
My son graduated from a 800 division in 2010, so I know exactly how you are feeling. If there is anything I can help with, please let me know. For those of you who have sons going to PreBuds after BC you can join that group and there will also be plenty of moms and dads further along that can answer your questions or address concerns. Your PIR group that you are in now is the best place to start to get to know others who will be on the same road as you.

No Call today :(. Was really hoping for one but I was wondering if they really were going to get to call on Saturday's as they were told.... Maybe they making them think they missed their call time and then will give it to them on Sunday-I will be praying.
