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!!!

I read that you cannot download your gate pass until 11 days prior to graduation.
So maybe tomorrow or the next day we can download them. :) Getting so excited!

I read somewhere that someone had made a few copies: one for car, one in suitcase and one in purse! Do you think that's necessary and/or wise?
Anyone ordering ribbons?

I just went onto Lala's About Me page. There's a link to her website and an email for her as well. She mails them out....Might be too late for me but I left her a msg and am placing an order online if I can get them on time.
Anyone ordering Challenge Coins? Would the SR keep this kind of thing in his pocket? Or is it something he would just keep for posterity? The RTC coin is handsome....

Cor, did you get the RTC challenge coin for him since there is no ship 04 yet? Very special that your son got one handed down to him....I don't want to go overboard, but it seems like a good gift for PIR. I am sure my SR would buy them for himself in the future if he likes them.

Picked one out this morning from this same page, Cor. Thanks! Think it's the same link that Craig posted in the Gifts For PIR discussion. I chose one that was engraveable so that I could put his division on it. Also bought one (for Christmas) for my husband who didn't know they existed when he was in the service!
