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 803 and 804 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 803 and 804
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 this discussion to answer your questions about the "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!!!

That sounds like a great Idea! We are flying in and we thought of going to Whole Foods and buying a "Turkey Dinner" and eating at the hotel, but that sounds way better. A nice way to meet the other families and enjoy the holiday! I'm game for a pot luck style gathering at the NAVY lodge if others are too!

thats a good idea - i am sure we could get a cooked "thanksgiving" dinner to go. I think my room has a stove top but no oven. I am sure we will find something, but with all the "extra" (all of us, haha) the places will be crowded.

Hi All, my son is in div. 804. He called about 9:15am this past Saturday. That was two weeks in a row. I know he was getting all four of his wisdom teeth pulled. Haven't received any letters yet either but he told me they can write all week but only get mailed on Sundays. Hope this helps.

Finally got a letter from our SR, loved reading his tiny writing. Maybe my eyes are just getting worse. Very Happy still.

Finally got a letter today and ALL of his enlistment papers. Sounds like they have a pretty good division - hopefully they continue to do well and get to PT often (he said that is their punishment - no PT time). I wish someone would tell me no PT, LOL

dannysmom, not sure how that would effect them. Buds Prep is normally anywhere form 8 to 10 weeks usually starting the Monday after PIR. Unless they are waiting for another division to join up with them.

Arlene, what division is your sr?? love the name,I feel like um tallying to my little sister(Arlene) too ....

My son is in 803 also. I think pre-buds may be a bit longer because he said the base "closes" for the holidays - it's a shame they might be there during the coldest weather but at least that will prepare them more :)

Exactly Arlene. This is a factor because they will be losing 10 days of training.

Growing up I NEVER met another Arlene - now I hear the name all the time :). Now if your name is the same as one of my sisters that would be funny.
