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."

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 son said in his letter today that he is getting mine in 3 to 4 days

 

Thanks Melray. I'm going to keep sending him the letters up until the last minute then. I got a letter from him today saying how much the letters mean to him. You said you got more than one letter? Were they both good? I got two. One was a good letter and the other was a paragraph that was addressed to mom and dad saying they weren't weren't pulling together and that they needed a quick turn around. It reminded me of being in school and having to write paragraphs or lines when we did something wrong. It was odd. I was wondering if anyone else got one like it? 

lol DONT STOP Robby's mom....They look forward to it!!!! :)

I got right up this morning and wrote my letter, lol. :-)

I got letters..He sounds great.. Hope the rest of yall do to..

Have a good day My N4M friends...

14days and a few hrs....HOOYAH...

Blue’s Clues Mail Song

Here's the mail, it never fails.

It makes me want to wag my tail.

When it comes I want to wail - Mail!

That is so funny. Flashback. Wow! Now I wont be able to go to the mail box for weeks without singing that song and waving my hands. It's already in my head. It sure fits though. I wake up so happy and anxious on Thursdays. Thanks for the smile :-) 

Two letters today! I still haven't got the survey back yet--maybe that was in one of the letters that supposedly were torn up last week. ? Anyway, I'm relieved to hear from him and he's looking forward to 10/12!

They can tear up outgoing letters, but NOT delivering a addressed and stamped envelope in a federal offence. Your SR might have opened it and said 'really mom?' like mine did.

Robby's Mom--I also got one letter that was just a short paragraph but he said the division was coming together. It did seem weird that he took the time to just write a six-line paragraph. I'm glad we got another, longer letter also. I think they were just busy with Hell Week and a short paragraph was all they had time to write.

Hi Shawn. I hope that is the case. The second letter was all good though. I was really hoping for the survey myself but he hasn't sent it back yet. I think they are all looking forward to PIR. I can hardly wait.

I agree RuthY. YAY!!! I am loving that countdown clock now. Only 12 more days!
