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!!!

My family and I are going to Sarge's as well. I waited too long to order the ribbons so I made my own last night:) They are black with gold lettering. Mine says proud mom on one side and 812 on the other. Hope to see many of you there!

Hi Moms of PIR June 7, 2013!!!!!
On Thursday April 10th it will be one year that our sailors arrived at Great Lakes! I can't believe that a year has gone by and it has been.....one helluva ride!
I use to have a different sign on name but back in August (per my son's request) I removed myself from the N4M site. Did you get that infamous phone call too!?
It will be interesting to see how many of you respond and renew this old post. I hope that all is well with you and your son.
I'll be waiting to hear from you!!!!!
