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!!!

Thank you Cor for such wonderful information. I know we will all be biting our fingernails next week until we hear from them. I am kind of praying since this is Easter weekend maybe we will get a teaser call just to see how they are doing. A ,mom can pray-right LOL.
i hope some of the other moms get into this blog-I will be happy to make the sign and bring name tags. If anyone wants to PM me, then give me your name and your NavyForMoms name, I will make some tags but I am leaving Tuesday for Chicago-I am driving so I am leaving heading out there a few days early! Be sure to let me know as soon as you can!
I wish you and everyone a Happy Easter!

Thank-you Cor, so much for all the info. I have printed it off and I've started packing. I keep stressing that I may forget something, but truly if I have my camera and tissues...I'm good! I've missed him so much and told him I need to store up some hugs for the next leg of the journey...but my chest just swells watching the videos on youtube and envisioning them marching through those doors....it's a moment I will want to freeze in time. Thank-you to all my new friends and our mentors who have guided me through this Boot Camp journey! Your guidance and help has been instrumental for me to navigate through the flood of emotions and instruction in the ways of the Navy. This is been the beginning of a wonderful journey for me. May God Bless you all!!
