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 806.
Welcome to the Division Discussion for division 806.
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!!!

What a great weekend! Got a call from my SR...he actually got through to me at the hospital!!! In all the chaos of our day...9 Mom/baby couplets and 3 in labor and lots of outpatients....(it is a 6 bed Mom/baby unit and a 4 bed LDR) I had a chance to chat!!! He sounded good and said they had had a good week with inspections and training! Have a big test/inspection on Monday and asked for prayers that all would be successful! They were definitely enjoying Ricky Heaven...
Have a great week! These last 11 days are going to fly by I think!

What is "Ricky Heaven"? What are the security clearance calls about? Who do they come from?

Just printed my parking pass. Got a call from my SR on Saturday. I am so excited and full of emotions. As the printer started printing I began to get teary eyed because I know this means I see my honey soon :-D

29 years ago today I married my Sailor! We took a UHaul and moved to Waukegan, IL three days after. He went to bootcamp in Orlando, Aschool in Gulfport then to Great Lakes. He was a SeaBee. I went to his boot camp graduation in Orlando. Ahhh memories! Now I'm off to print my parking pass...HOOYAH!

I mailed my last letter this morning. I know my SR said that they sometimes hold their mail. He has gone over a week without getting any and his GF & I both mail something everyday.

LadyHawk - I'm not sure if you got mail last week. We didn't; they were told they needed to be studying and not writing letters so he didn't mail letters Sunday the 20th. Hopefully we get mail this week though. Fingers Crossed

Got my ribbons; got my pass; I'm ready to go!!!!! As of right now, weather-wise, it's not doing much here. It snowed a little earlier, but didn't stick. It's getting colder, so it may get icy from the earlier rain - but so far the long range looks good for next week. Thinking about our boys and wishing them the best over these last days.
