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 803 and 804 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 803 and 804
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!!!

@Swsal528 my 17 Year old SR is enjoying bible study that one of the other SRs are doing. He is very motivated and they have put him in charge of creating the watch schedule. So proud of him! Possibly your SR, I love the bonding.

My son has a beautiful voice, is just a very talented musician all around - would be great if they've got more than one good singer in their group :-)

Yes, my son described the young man as a "human jukebox", which is a precious thing there. Lol

Hi Ladies, so nice to see more activity on this group so we can learn more about our guys divisions. We received letters last Thursday, so I can't wait to check the mail tomorrow. Does anyone know when we might know dates Pre BUDs will have Christmas break so we can book flights for our SR.

I was wondering the same thing. Did not know if they would have to be back early etc.

Until you get specifics from your son when they will have Christmas leave, I would not book anything unless it can be changed without costing you a fortune. It is usually the Friday before Christmas and ends New Years Day.
I will try to find the website that has free personalized Welcome Home banners if anyone is interested.
