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 am late joining but will be at graduation. SWCC is in our future unless we hit a road block like your son. God Bless him in whatever he does!

Thanks doxiemom! I will pray for your son as he continues down his path. It is a tough road to be sure!
I am confident God has my son right where he wants him. We pray for closed doors and walk our path until God steers us in another direction.
I will keep the spec op families in my prayers! Always!

Does anyone know if our sailors are allowed to drink while on liberty PIR weekend?

While I was watching today's graduation they announced that the Sailors on liberty are not allowed to drink no matter their age.

Forgot to mention that they are not allowed to drive or smoke either. They risk having their liberty revoked and could cause a set back in training.

Hi, adamomom I'm so glad you received a call too. I would love to meet you. Not sure if we can go to the meet and greet. We are driving 9-10 hours not sure yet what time we are getting in. I will let you know. I'm sure our son's know each other. Not sure about the names at the meet and greet. Thanks for the heads up with the phone call. Take care and so excited for PIR:)))

Hi, KimE'smom. I'm looking forward to meeting you too. I'm also sure they know each other. Have a safe trip to Chicago. I'm flying into the airport to meet my daughter on Thursday around noon. She is flying in from Napa, CA. We are not leaving until Sunday late afternoon. We are getting really excited about PIR and all being together again. YAY (-:

Just FYI - There were calls today (div 813) but at a 'weird' time for a Monday...3:30 at GL. My son called his girlfriend so I'm not sure how much time they got, her phone died after about 5 minutes.
