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!!!

RuthY I do the same thing I end every letter with a verse.. He said he likes that..
I also pray Psalms 91 over all our SR's everyday..
I will come in agreement in prayer with you that our SR's are able to complete whatever they are aproached with in BC...

Thanks for Psalm 91- I'll look that one up!!
God's word is so a comfort- Just prove that we aren't in charge. Our SRs are the palm of God's hands- keep praying!!

I received a letter today - though not from my SR, from his best friend who is currently in Boot Camp with the Army in GA. He wrote it on waterproof paper as they were on early morning outdoor duty before breakfast. He is such a great young man and told me he wanted to thank me for my letters because it was nice to know that people other than his family are proud of him and thinking of him. =)
Now, if he can find the time to write, how come my SR can't?

Funny, I got a letter yesterday too, from my "other son" (my son's bff), who is in Army bootcamp. His letter was longer and more detailed than any I have gotten from my boy. They even get "passes" and free time. I was shocked at the difference in BC. Cor hit the nail on the head, Army vs Navy...nuff said. LOL!!!

Hi Joanie. Saw this post and it made me laugh. Puff Plus has stayed on hand in this house since our son left. They'll be on hand at PIR as well.
I see FL in your name. Is that for Florida? I'm wondering how many other moms and SR's are from Florida.
