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."

It started today and goes into tomorrow, since it is 12 hours long....i believe upon completing Battle Stations they will be SAILORS!!!!!!!!!! We may get phone calls tomorrow saying "IM A SAILOR!!!" Keep those cell phones close!! Next week they practice for graduation, and he said he will be able to spend the weekend with us in Chicago until he flies out Sunday for "A School"...I am a happy mom!!!!!

Hi Codeysmom! I believe he is going to San Antonio TX to be Master at Arms, which is the Navy police from what I understand. Im proud of our SAILORS too!! Cant wait to kiss the top of his shaved head!!! (What happens on Navy for Moms stays on Navy for Moms! Lol! ) Maybe our sons will be together?? ; >

I bet they will be together! Yes, I got my call at 2:00 pm! He said Battle Stations had begun at 8:30 pm last night and ended at 9:00 am this morning. They are SAILORS!! They received their Navy ballcaps (instead of the ones they had been wearing that said recruit). He said Battle Stations was easy but staying awake was difficult. I asked him what he had for lunch and he said " a hamburger, a corn dog, some potatos, cinammon toast crunch..." lol! Not only did they not sleep, they missed breakfast so they were tired and hungry! They have accomplished so much! Hopefully next week will be a little easier, just practicing for PIR...we are in the home stretch, yay!!
