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 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 was wondering if anyone knows how much time we can spend with our SR the weekend of PIR, Do they have Saturday and Sunday with us. Also I hope Everyone has gotten letters. It is so exciting to read them.

If they are staying in great lakes I have been told until Sunday but back at night for curfew. If he is AIRR he will leave Saturday I believe to Pensacola. Correct me if I am wrong vet mamas.

I received my first letter today. How exciting. It was awesome to here from him. He is excited to be there and be part of this division. He said the RDC's are great and that the division is coming together as a team. He feels good and said they are all looking forward to the training. If you have not received a letter. I pray you do soon. It's the best feeling. Still waiting for that call.....

I plan to keep my phone glued to me this weekend. I've answering all home calls all though I doubt he will call the home phone. All the calls were sales calls. I do agree that I think we may get a call this weekend .. I wrote down a list of questions so I can make sure I get everything in.

I also wrote a list. But since I don't know how much time he will have maybe I'll let him talk and see how it goes. Oh, who knows, I just want to hear his voice.

Me too. I probably will forget about the list once I hear his voice.LOL
