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!!!

Hello, My son is in an 800 division and will PIR on 10/04. My older son has 2 out of 6 years left. He is in Cali. I wanted to say "hello". I have been through this journey before, I thought it would be easier the second time, not sure about that yet.
I hope you are all having a great weekend!

Well just over 4 weeks, no calls but 2 letters. He sounds good other than going through the bootcamp sickness. Luckily his molars were pulled over the summer so he did not have to go through that.
I am ok not getting calls if I get a letter once a week. I know how busy they are and I want him completely focused (:

OneProudMomma-I understand , I just happened to read it elsewhere. If I find the post I will link it here. I think one of the "Veteran Mom's on this site posted to message her when we know a BS date for our divisions. She is tracking them and will let us know when we can expect the "I'm a Sailor" call. I can't wait and I'm sure you feel the same way! My son is in Div 818, I've asked him to send me the date for BS but don't know if I'll get it.
Isn't this website great, the moms who have been through this are so incredibly helpful. Have a great trip to Chicago!
