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."

Comment by Cayster16 on June 13, 2011 at 11:03pm: The candle is burning for ship 11 Div 203... Thoughts are with them all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 13, 2011 at 9:57pm: dianne-like we say...be prepared!

Anything can and most likely WILL change with the military!

S'okay...what they prepare themselves for may have structure in the prep but the actual "game" has many twists and turns.

So, I think I am lucky if all I have to deal with is a purse! LOL ;-)

Comment by diannep on June 13, 2011 at 9:30pm: Ari'sMom: Wed night, we think, for 209/210. There is a tentative schedule up in the BattleStations discussion above.

RWG~ Welcome back~ If that last name you posted happens to be your SR's too, you will need to delete that comment (click on the "x" in the box). No last names of SRs allowed on here! If it is not your SR's last name, then no problem!

fireteamleaderwife: They DID look through my purse when I went through...so I think they randomly do that. But, yes, like you said...the cushion is fine!

Thanks, meryl, for the date for 207/208. I will update the schedule in the BattleStations discussion above now.

Comment by Navymom on June 13, 2011 at 8:39pm: Does anyone know when the Battlestations for Division 209 are? My daughter did write in her last letter that they had to be up for 36 hours straight for that and they had all kinds of tests to pass. But haven't gotten a letter since Thursday. Just hoping it's soon. Figure she will probably be calling me on Thursday when I arrive at Great Lakes. Thanks for the help ladies.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 13, 2011 at 7:28pm: Blue eyes-yes you can bring a cushion. It might get inspected! Just joking...LOL No one looked in my purse when I went through security!

Some say it is cold on the benches. I was up higher and was HOT! So plan for both!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 13, 2011 at 7:26pm: BS starts at approx 8PM their time. Lasts about 12 hours. By the time they are ALL through including phone calls and Ricky Heaven...its 40 + hours they have been up.

They start making "I'm a Sailor" calls around noon their time. I am on the west coast and I got mine at 2:15 PM.

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 13, 2011 at 7:07pm: HEY--maybe the REAL root issue causing global warming is all the blue candles burning!
