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."

LTLY: I have a huge favor to ask you. Is it possible to have these songs posted put onto a CD. I hear them in my head all the time, and would like to have them to listen to in the car. i will gladly help with the cost. some like the soldier songs have always brought tears to my eyes. I just don't know how to do this myself or I would. thank you for bringing these songs to us. Don't know how you do it.
Hoping for a call from our guys today. fingers crossed. knock on wood and saying prayers that calls will come to all of us. We deserve it. I need a vacation when this is over!

Oh, and sometimes 900 division will go by itself in BattleStations.
-
-
reenie: Yes, some BattleStations have 4 divisions going at once....sometimes 3 if a 900 or 800 division goes with 2 brother divisions...sometimes just 2 brother divisions go. And I believe you are correct...makes sense to me...depends on how many are left in the divisions after some have been removed as far as 4 divisions going at once, although other recruits coming out of asmo situation are added back to a division.
