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!!!

Hi all, I'm new to this, but my boyfriend is in 803 and I believe our flight is back on Saturday. His parents booked the flight and I'm really considering asking to change my flight to Sunday night only because I want to be able to be there as long as I can. Is this a good idea or is there a possibility he won't have leave the entire weekend?

When PIR is on a Friday, they have Friday evening off after they move to the other side, then Saturday and Sunday. With your PIR being on Wed due to holidays, I'm not sure what their schedule will be. You may want to get some clarification on that before making any changes.

that sounds great! I am really worried about missing a day with him, but since I wasn't in control of any of the flight/hotel info I wasn't sure what I was going to do. Thank you so much for the offer, I'll keep you posted. How have you been holding up?

Mine is staying for prep, but we are unsure of the process. due to the government shut down, some of the prep classes were pushed. what about yours?

Mine is staying for prep also! For dive, is yours the same or EOD? Wonder if they know each other even if their in different divisions. Didn't hear about the classes being pushed, I wonder how long.
