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."

Last night was battlestations for div 001,002,003,004 call this afternoon

Yes, it would have been last night. They don't do BattleStations on Fri or Sat nights. Just Sun-Thurs nights.

If someone doesn't get a call, it is probably because they had "watch" and they will call later or over the weekend. Be sure to be checking their FB's too because some get on the computers while they are waiting for the phones. Calls don't usually start before 2 pm GL time and many times start later than that.
