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."

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 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!!!

I plan on being there MommaBear, it would be my daughter and I. We're driving up from PA. I'm planning on leaving here around 4 am Thursday morning, may not get to the meet and greet until about 6 or so though. Once we get a round-about head count, please let me know if/what I can bring ;)

My family will be at the meet & greet.  There will be 5 of us!  We're flying in Thursday AM.  I would be willing to help towards expenses for the centerpiece(s).  Just let me know!

We are planning on attending as well. There will be three of us :) Looking forward to meeting everyone!

We plan on being at the meet and greet. We may be late since we are not scheduled to arrive at O'hare until 5:15pm. Then we have to pick up rental car, drive the 45 minutes are so to the motel, etc. We should be able make it for some of the meet and greet provided there are no flight delays. Hoping mother nature is good to all of us. There will be 4 of us attending. I would be happy to contribute $ to a centerpiece if anyone plans on making one. I really look forward to meeting everyone!

So how is everyone's sailor getting settled in to their new "home"? How much shopping did they do over the weekend, now that they can "nest" and have some personal items? I think we spent more time in Walmart this weekend than I have in the past 6 months!
