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."

Has anyone from 365/366 received letters this week? If so where they on time or a day late? Just asking because my SR has not missed a week and I got nothing on the usual day. Thanks for any news.

NavyMom2, how do I edit my post? I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I deleted it altogether. I don't feel that I gave any actual dates in the post, because I'm not sure myself when Battle Stations are exactly. I was just giving my opinion on when it might be, hopefully she won't get into any trouble! Dannaproud, if you didn't read my post that I deleted, pm me on facebook. I will let you know what it said. Thanks!

Lori - I had to delete a post too. I think we just get so caught up in the excitement that we type faster than we think. I felt horrible and hoped I didn't get any of our SRs in trouble. Hang in there we are almost done!

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I wasn't thinking! Let's pray our SR's didn't get in trouble. I'm hanging, girl, I'm so glad PIR is this Friday, I don't think I could take another week! I miss my Em so much. I'm sure I will be blubbering like a fool up in the stands on Friday! I already told my daughter to just plan on me embarrassing the heck out of her, because I won't be able to control myself! LOL

Hello my Navy friends! Time is ticking away and we will get to see our SR's before we know it! So excited! Can't wait!

Me too! I'm about ready to burst from excitement! I was hoping for a call today, but they must not do BS on Sundays. Maybe tomorrow we'll get the call. If I have to wait till Tuesday to get the call, I believe I will lose it! LOL! Of course my cell phone broke yesterday, it's not charging. Something wrong with the port, they have to send me a replacement. I had a major meltdown last night in the Verizon Store! It was hilarious in retrospect, but not that funny at the time. I had to borrow my hubby's!
All the staff at the hospital think I'm so funny. I have my phone attached to my uniform and I even answer it while I'm in a patient's room. It's against hospital policy, but they're looking the other way! LOL The patient's all are very understanding, thank God. I hope they all do great at BS! Prayers for our SR's!

OK, I'm a little slow on the mark. I just went to the Battle Stations Their Final Test section and watched the Video on Battle Stations that CNN did with Wolf Blitzer. I got chills!. It looks like such an intense and realistic experience for them. The ceremony afterwards where they change out their caps is very moving for them. I didn't realize that it's an overnight experience, and it's 12 hours long! If you haven't seen this, check it out.

No call here yet michelle. I am at work and the cell service here isn't great, so I was outside for an hour just to have a signal in case he called... I guess this group is just going to make their calls a little later?? Keep us posted if you hear anything!
