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 801 & 802 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 801 & 802!!!
It only happens a few times a year when there are two special ops groups in one TG.
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!!!

Yes...it's a lot. Good reminder that so many others are watching. Even if we "regulars" were checking several times a day, it's still a long way to the number of views showing.

Oh probably two or three thousand of them are just me.... lol
Ugh... after re-reading his letter tonight, I honestly don't think he's even received any mail from us. How is that even possible?

JackFlash, glad you got a letter! You have been very patient. We will bring some Halloween candy to the hotel!
We are hoping for one tomorrow or Friday. Hoping all the wisdom teeth came out easily and that the guys recovered quickly.
Question about Lala's ribbons: I see that you can order one with the sailor's name on it, even for SpecOps....So is it considered safe to wear that info at PIR (but I assume nowhere else)?
When will we know that Class 300 is fully formed?

Got a letter dated the 26th. Our SR is in 801. Not liking not having pt but enjoying it when they do have it. No phone call. He is attending Christian services.

I got a letter today! My SR has run out of navy note pad paper he's written me so many letters! I love it! His parents got a letter too but I'm assuming it was quite a bit shorter lol it sounds like he's good, starting to get a little sick but he's tough. His dad told me that from his letter it sounded like he wouldn't be able to make any more phone calls until the end:( I hope that's not true. He also said he's making some really good friends. He said he gets along with almost everyone but with that many other guys there's bound to be a few you just don't get along with.

Hi everyone! New here to N4Ms and to the navy in general. My SR is my husband and he is in Division 802. A few questions that maybe a few of you know the answer to:
1. What is a Meet and Greet and are they encouraged to attend? Which one is best?
2. What type of liberty do our SR's get the weekend of their graduation? Which days are included in this liberty?
3. For those who have SRs going on to pre-buds, do they get Christmas leave, how long and what dates is Christmas leave and is it too early to know what BUD/S class they'll be in?
Well those are all the questions I have so far and I would love anyone's input. Thanks!
