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 DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 17, 2010 at 4:03pm: This is what I know about Battle Stations 21 from things I have read here and there.

Battle Stations 21 Takes place on the USS Trayer, a mock battleship. (See video from previous post)

The simulations test everything that they have learned in boot camp....in one very long night! I think they sign a confidentiality agreement to not disclose what happens on BS21. It's a very high action night and teamwork is key! They work in smaller groups and some of these smaller groups may fail...not entire divisions. But usually most pass because they have learned the skills they need to be successful!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 17, 2010 at 3:32pm: I haven't heard when Battlestations is for 344. I've asked in the letters but I don't think even they know yet... it sounded like they only knew what the next week would hold. Hang in there!! It's getting closer all the time!!!!!!!!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 17, 2010 at 3:28pm: The Pics are up of today's PIR on the RTC Facebook page.

We can dream... ;)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 17, 2010 at 3:25pm: Maybe Pink has heard something about Div 344. We are all just guessing at this point... but hopefully soon we'll get some better info.

I know it's stressful for everyone... but hang in there... we are getting closer to seeing our loved ones!

Just keep your eye on the prize... PIR 10/15/10! What an awesome day that will be! :)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 17, 2010 at 3:22pm: Cindy! LOL!!! Don't worry! That was just a guess going on what Kris told me in his letter that's already nearly a week old. Hopefully we'll know more as the date gets closer.

In one of your letters... let Dillon know your travel plans so he can make sure to call your cell phone and if you happen to be on the plane he can leave you a message. That's worst case scenario!

BESIDES... Girlfriend...he's going to pass! It's teamwork and they are learning to work a s team! You're going to get his call!!! He WILL be a SAILOR! He's made it this far and the Navy wants him to succeed!

Like Yamile said... have FAITH! ;)

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 17, 2010 at 3:15pm: Does anyone know when battlestation is scheduled for DIV 344? Is it the same day?

Dillon's mom, that is not a good thought....I'm sure if he makes it that far though, he will pass.

Comment by S12/D342-Yamile/Christian's Mom on September 17, 2010 at 3:11pm: FAITH, Dillons Mom - just have faith and remain positive.................................. and since you will be there I guess before all of us.... keep us on the loop on anything that we should be aware....

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 17, 2010 at 2:49pm: Kaleena - there is a discussion above about where everyone is staying... a lot of us are at SpringHill Suites in Waukegan. I think Dana posted their info in the discussion. I know what you mean about family or friends that don't understand. This website has been a life-saver for me. I know I would be a complete mess without it! Thanks to everyone!!

Comment by S12/D342-Yamile/Christian's Mom on September 17, 2010 at 2:38pm: Thanks a lot for the link to the questionaries….

Comment by Navy Wife K on September 17, 2010 at 2:33pm: I just wanted to tell everyone thankyou for all the lil late nite chats & everything. I couldn't have done it w/o you ladies! I don't have many family members that understand. Thanks! :) :)
