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 812 and 813 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 812 and 813
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!!!

U usually Sit wherever but u should make up something so u guys can recognize each other. We each had a blue nail on one hand. It was really cool. So just try to figure out what u guys want to do to try to recognize each other. U will make friends for life.

We heard from the boy yesterday, said all is well, they all did great on their tests and had time in recruit heaven. They are all excited and set for battle stations. Most have made a core group of friends that are going forward to certain A schools. The boy is in the 800 division and he said they have a terrific bunch going through and now know what to expect in the way of schedule, workouts and liberty. He is excited to get done with the "BS" and get on with things, but he sounded very motivated and happy. Says most of them have nagging colds which get spread around and around. We are getting excited now to see him PIR and spend some time with him.
No problem with the chamber, its never pleasant but it doesn't kill you he said.
How about pinning a red, white and blue ribbon on our shirts to recognize the brother 812/813 DIV at Sarge's?

My son in 812 called earlier as well. It's official. He's a sailor! Looking forward to some down time since he is battling a cold. He is also looking forward to the "Captain's Cup" on Saturday. Sounds like some well deserved fun for all.
