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!!!

bex, I dont remember seeing any strollers in the hall, but I could be wrong. Good question to ask on the main page.
Make sure you dress the baby warmly, the door is more like a hangar and it gets really cold in there. The 800 divisions sit to the far right of the doors so it is not as bad as sitting directly in front. Plus you will have to stand in line to get in as they check names.

For the division shirts it is usnavytees.com. It is too late though to order and get them by PIR. you can order them for after. I and my SR both ordered so we have too many is anybody is interested. I have an XXL, 2 XL and 2 Large. They charged me $20 each but a little more for the XXL. I will have them at PIR assuming my SR has them then. I will ask him at thanksgiving if anybody is interested. I found out my SR ordered after they had already printed the shirts so I could not cancel. This is for Div 802

When my son was in BC he told me that they would march past the parking lot where family was dropping off and picking up their sailors from previous PIRs. He said he couldnt wait for his PIR so it could be his turn to see his family. They are missing you as much as you are missing them at this point.
