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 822
Welcome to the discussion group for division 822.
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!!!

My husband likes to open my son's letters and then call me at work to read them to me. He loves sharing that moment with me, but I'd really love to read them by myself first. Finally hubby was out of town fishing so I left work early to hurry and get home to a letter from my son--and all I got was bills today. Congrats to those who got letters. Maybe tomorrow for me.

What a sweet picture Melray - I may have to hunt one of those up for my grandson!
I have been packing and packing and packing - and I am maybe half finished. Why oh why do I have so much stuff! We were supposed to close on the house on Monday, but the mortgage company didn't send the final figures until Wednesday and then they were wrong. We have things straightened out and are supposed to sign the paperwork tomorrow - so keep your fingers crossed that nothing else happens.
It has been a funky week. The weather has been up and down, so my mood has been the same way. We went from short sleeves and sandals on Tuesday to long sleeves, shoes, and jackets on Wednesday, then back again today. Ah, gotta love the Midwest. Hope everyone else had a good week and that the weekend makes up for the hole that this week seemed to be.
