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 diannep on August 6, 2012 at 10:59am: Since BattleStations start this week for this group, continuing next week, here is a very informative BattleStations video so you know what your SRs will be doing.

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2012 at 8:53am: Just remember....the shirts will be totally different for each division since the SRs in each division design them. They usually have RDC's names on them also. So they are very division-specific!

Good Morning all!

Comment by proudmomma65 on August 5, 2012 at 8:30pm: Thanks for the fyi My Sailor's Anchor!

Comment by diannep on August 5, 2012 at 7:41pm: Sent a friend request with message to you, le85.

Comment by My Sailor's Anchor on August 5, 2012 at 6:13pm: So I got a reward call home and was told an important fact... The letters they wrote today will go out tomorrow, but they are not allowed to mail anymore. They can still receive mail, just not send mail.

Comment by le85(MC/Rota) on August 5, 2012 at 4:03pm: diannep - if you have dates for battlestations for the TG I would very much like it if you could message me also. Thanks!

Comment by ArmywifeNavymom on August 5, 2012 at 3:34pm: I too would like to know if anyone knows when battlestaions for 14/257 will be.

Comment by diannep on August 5, 2012 at 3:27pm: Messaged you, Nate'sWife.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 5, 2012 at 2:24pm: The calls usually start around 2pm Great Lakes time. So, of course it depends on what time zone you live in. They go to bed early that night at like 8pm so most of the calls are finished in the early evening hours.

Comment by my2boyz (ship 11 div 131) on August 5, 2012 at 2:19pm: Good Morning Ladies!! So once Battlestations is completed, how early or how late can you expect a phone call?
