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 820
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 820
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!!!

I just realized that you posted the Ramada Meet and Greet. I'm going to Sarge's meet and greet. It is a different meet and greet. He is really informative. I believe it was part of the info that Lemonelephant posted. I need to RSB

I am not completely sure... I was hoping to get my son's input! I I guess I will have to take a step of faith and choose! I like Jaxietwo's idea... I just don't want to deal with checkout by noon on Friday and wait to 3:00 to check in at the new location!

I have our hotel reservations at SpringHill by Marriott at Fountain Square Pl, Waukegan. I'm not sure how far it is from the graduation. My Husband made the plans. I would really like to Sarge's Meet and Greet. Don't know much about it

Hey mamas! So i am hoping our kiddos in 820 get their privileges back by the weekend to call... I am praying and will be by my phone night and day just in case. I am hoping my son is a team player,it would be SO unlike him to be. The only thing I could see, is he can be oblivious sometimes to others needs, not intentionally but more not realizing.. This worries me.. I pray he is doing everything asked of him!!
In regards to graduation, we are staying at the Ramada Inn thur-Sun. So, definatley look us up and we can celebrate in our kids:) Im glad the meet and greet is there on Friday:) should be nice connecting with other parents who have gone through everything you have. Cheers to you all and look forward to seeing you all!

fitness: The MeetandGreets are held the night before PIR. These are for all families and friends of the graduating sailors (the sailors will not be there.... :-( There is one at Ramada and Sarge's at the Sundance Saloon. Sarge's is the larger more popular one and the one with the most info. It is about 4 miles from RTC.

Carolyn: That is a good hotel...we have had positive posts on Springhill and the best part is you are right there by Sarge's MeetandGreet! You are about 4-5 miles from RTC. We stayed right up the road at the Residence Inn...we took a shuttle to PIR and were there in about 10 minutes.
You will like Sarge's MeetandGreet! Lots of info there....he also has a shuttle service himself.
