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).

My son is in division 819 and we got a call Monday. We were at work so he called each of and talked for about 10 min each. I actually almost missed his call cause my cell didn't ring the first time. I would have died if he didn't call back! Miss him so much!

:) Would have been even more awsome if I'd been the receiver of the call. Girlfriend was the lucky soul this time. Ahhh, young love - isn't it grand!! :) ...at least I know he's doing well and we'll all be seeing him soon.

Our son called on Monday. I know of one other mom from Minnesota who's son also called. Did you not hear from your son? How about letters?

It would be great to have a lot of parents from the 819 and 820 Divisions at the same Meet and Greet. Have any of you made a decision of which one you will be going to?

We are going to flanagans. I didn't realize there were several meet and greets.

I think Flanagans is the one we were talking about. I have no idea what makes one better than the other. We (my husband and I) are getting together next Saturday with another family from MN with a son in this division. We will probably decide then.

We got a call from our son on Monday. He was only able to talk for about 20 minutes but it was still great to hear his voice. We will be going to Sarge's meet and greet. Would love to connect with others in these divisions there too.

Hi Torchs mom... Just food for thought.....I first signed up for Flannigans then some of my mom friends agreed to go to Sarges. I attended Sarges Meet and Greet first and then headed to Flannigans. I arrived at Flannigans at about 8 pm and the event had already ended. If youre arriving at 7pm you may miss the meet and greet. You might want to connect with your mom friends and have someone get the info for you.
Graduation is quite an event... -
