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."

From what I understand, the Captains Cup always falls on the Saturday before graduation. It may or may not come before Battlestations depending on when the divisions are scheduled for that exercise.

That does sound like fun. At that point they will probably need it and love it being away from family so long. Wish we could watch it though. I do have a question, my husband when he was in BC for the Army they video taped parts and put it on a tape and sold it. Do they do that with Navy BC as well?

Yes, I saw it somewhere with the information for the Picture and the Keel book. I think you buy the DVD's and video's seperately and you can order them when we are at graduation.

Not to brag but my son is AWESOME at volleyball!!! Hopefully he gets in on that game. I was reading up on the Captain's Cup and it does sound like "field day" when we were in grade school. Sounds like a well deserved break and a day of fun.

AWESOME..... where are you coming from??

Maine!!! There is absolutely NO easy way to get from here to there. We have to fly out of Boston which is about a 2 hour ride south for us but worth every penny!! (Pennies are all I'm going to have left after this trip! LOL)
I have to say when I look on the PIR 03/02/2012 forum the weather in Great Lakes has been almost identical to the weather here. Tempurature and all. I feel for the SR"s from the south, they must be FREEZING!!!

My son is a southern boy through and through, born and raised in Florida. I am sure the temp really shocked him. He has never seen snow until he went to GL. Only in pics. LOL. I am sure he is getting his fill of it. LOL:)
Have a great day ladies.
