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 803
Welcome to the discussion group for division 803.
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina, cor 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 talked to my son on Saturday. He is EOD. He said at the moment they do have 10 days leave but it could change at any time. I think this is just something that we just have to get used to. It wouldn't be so bad it it wasn't Christmas. It is hard to make travel arrangements at the last minute.

Nice to hear someone else in the same situation. You are the first who has said their SR may not have leave. I wrote an email to Public Affairs and they replied that everyone has leave...??? What A school is he going to? Mine is Pensacola.... This delay in communication in letters and an occasional phone call is tough!! We aren't used to this in today's world!! Did your son say why? Mine didn't, and for the first time he sounded down... but tried to hide it, but a mother knows!

mine sounds excited about going on to next step. their journey is an adventure and i think they or at least mine wants to prepare for a school he seems ready to move on and up holidays are not part of their momentum at this time a sacrifice we all have to make i will enjoy whatever leave he is allowed or takes We arrive on dec20 if someone else is coming in then and staying at navy lodge their construction will only be the lobby at that time let me know whonelse is there i look forward to meeting everyone

Thanks loisb, I agree with you. It's not a bad thing for them to keep their head in the "game" for the adventure ahead of them. I am with you in that I will take whatever I get and know that they are working towards a lofty goal. Thanks for the insight and keeping things in perspective! As I said before, it's nice to hear of someone on the same journey!

@EODMOM.
I made my sons and then wrote him and told him what day he was flying back with us and what day he was flying back to base. I did it, because the prices from where we live were going up everyday and I could not afford to wait for the RTC or my son to give us a call. I knew he was going to get leave and I knew when he had to be back. Then I told him he gets to pay for his own airfare, because we can't afford three airline tickets.

My son is EOD also. He wanted me to make his flight arrangements but I would write him to make sure he wants you do that. It would be bad to have you do it just to find out he made his own arrangements. He flies back with us on the 23rd because it was cheaper than flying back on the 22nd even with the extra hotel night. He doesn't have to be back until the 30th but he is flying back to GL on the 27th just to be safe and to get settled in.
