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!!!

Received a letter from my son in 812 today. He sounded good and said they had another inspection this past Wednesday. Hope they did well. He also said that they had gotten some 8 hour night sleeps the two previous nights. 3 weeks to go:)

And the phones are ringing! What a pleasant surprise. Sounds like they are all really looking forward to June 7 and can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sooooo exciting!

Same here. My son called around 4:10 today EST. He was just as surprised to make the call as I was to receive it. Did well on last inspection/test and I think one more next week. Can't wait to see him....

Try your best to get to meet each other, The career your recruit has chosen may require discretion later on. Exchange emails and get used to using private message. It not too soon to start practicing being safe.

Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to all the families in Moore, Oklahoma devastating tornadoes have torn apart homes and an elementary school where several children have lost their lives. Please pray for them as they go through this terribly tragic time. God give them strength and wrap them in a cloak of your love.
