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 812 and 813 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 812 and 813
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!!!

Hi ladies and welcome to the 800 divisions. Cor and I are here to help you survive the following weeks and beyond. If there is anything we can help with, please do not hesitate to ask. Hang in there, it will be over before you know it and you will be hugging your new sailor. Mail is very important to your boys, so write, write, write.

This is very exciting, I can see that our sons have one thing in common. This is where they have wanted to be since they were little. I believe that will make them a tight knit group of fine soldiers. I am so proud of all of them for making this choice and of the moms for the pride and love you are showing for your son. Hooyah! moms

How can we find out if there are sailors that aren't receiving any mail? I would like to write to them and let them know we are proud and support them.
