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 818 and 819
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 818 and 819
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 this discussion to answer your questions about the "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!!!

yes, but be careful. They have to be back by a certain time, so leave enough time for them to get back early. They have to walk from the gate and a minute late could ruin liberty for all.

How long of a trip is it? My older Sailor was so worried about being late he went back an hour early.

Its not far and its within the 50 mile radius that the guys are limited to. Not sure how long the train ride is, we drove and got jammed up in traffic on the way back to base. It was a close call and son jumped out at the curb instead of waiting in the long line to get through the security gate back at base.

I received a completed questionnaire last Wed, 8/21 and his girlfriend received 7 letters the following day. I guess I know where I stand! (I kinda knew that already). The questionnaire was very helpful, that may be the only way I will get mail from him. His girlfriend is wonderful though, she called me with intel from her letters and she will conitinue to do so (censored of course). I received a short call on Saturday.

That's awesome! I did get a call on Saturday, which was great, and he said he would mail the letters out Monday. Hopefully tomorrow I will see one. Is your SR in 818 or 819?
