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 819 & 820 (brother divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 819 & 820. It only happens a few times a year when there are two special ops groups in one TG.
Please be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in one of these divisions. Although they are still in BC, what they are doing may be slightly different from what the other division are doing. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).

Also pack something warm, It will only be in the 40's when you are standing in line to get inside. It will warm up by the time you go back and pick up your sailors. Remember to be early when dropping off, they have to be in their bldg which they have to walk to from the gate. One person late can ruin liberty for all of them.
If you do not rent a car and plan on using the train, keep in mind that there can be delays. Trains fill up fast leaving you waiting for the next one. If you plan on driving into the city, we hit a lot of traffic.
Leave a little time for your sailor to make phone calls, he will not be permitted to walk and talk in public. Don't be surprised if he seems a little different and has a hard time relaxing at first, that will pass.
Take notice of how fast he eats. Don't be surprised if total strangers approach him to thank him for his service. I have even heard that some have had their tab picked up when out to eat.
As each division walks through the doors and are announced the crowd cheers, but as the 800 division is announced the cheers are deafening. I cant even explain how proud I was at that moment. Enjoy this weekend, but be prepared for goodbyes once again. These will also get easier eventually, just think the holidays are close and you will see him soon. Besides he will now only be a phone call away. Those prescious letters will be tucked away. Care pkgs will begin to replace them.
Have a safe trip and I will see you in your new group as Class 2nine9 starts its new journey.
