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) Division 821
Welcome to the discussion group for division 821.
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina 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!!!

Cannot wait for Friday!
We were on a plane when our son called with his "I'm a sailor" call :(
Hoping he will be able to call again, anyone know if he will?
We really want to know what he needs/wants us to bring him. What have you all been asked for?
Also, I know this sounds silly, but, what does one wear to PIR?
Looking forward to meeting some of you, I'll be the one crying with joy and hugging my son endlessly, oh wait... perhaps that will be all of us? :)

I am not sure if they will get another call. All we were asked to bring was his cell phone and charger. I cannot wait either, cannot get her fast enough. I am not sure what to wear, but we had shirts made that says "Proud Navy Mom, Proud Navy Sister and Proud Navy Niece" I have seen pictures online and people are in jeans, business casual dress.

Our son calls every evening now. It is great to get frequent updates. He is happy with the new conditions including cell phone use, and other liberties. He also is enjoying the training.
