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 pray4peace Ship 03 Div 017 on November 14, 2010 at 2:14pm: Per a letter from my daughter this past Wednesday (she is Ship 03 Div 017 with brother division being 018) their BS is 11/30.

Comment by Sherri_M on November 14, 2010 at 1:58pm: sailorsgirl...it's ok, we'll find out! In letters this week, he may be able to tell you, or it may be next week....I'm sure he'll let you know as soon as he hears!

Comment by Sherri_M on November 14, 2010 at 1:53pm: I found a Blue candle to post during BS as well....I've downloaded it and it is ready to be put onto our group page....,Suggestions from you all.....do you want it up above--it'd go under our music area....THIS IS WHERE THE BS schedule will be--or do we want it on our "profile" pic--where our Eagle is?? Just wondering where you all think it will suit us best....

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 14, 2010 at 1:52pm: i know sherri that they are a week behind that's why ive been asking him in every letter i sent him when is the battle stations and never get an answers he always change the subject

Comment by Sherri_M on November 14, 2010 at 1:26pm: Diannep thanks for helping! Allie, I was told the same day...Wed the 24th....but I also heard from others in DIV 10 it was Monday of that week? So anyone else in DIV 09 or 10 that has a date for our BS??

Also, sailorsgirl..EMILY is correct...I talked to my recruit on Thursday....he had just received mail that day that was dated 11/2 and 11/3,,so at least a week behind.

Comment by Sherri_M on November 14, 2010 at 1:19pm: ok, everyone.....sorry, but did find out we can say a date for BS21 for your division...that way everyone will know when to burn the blue candles...What they ask is not to give out specifics with times, etc....SORRY I MISINFORMED you all...i have found out we can post a schedule on our page so we all know when our boy/girls do the BS! So, if you have a date foryour div, let me know and I'll try and get our schedule going! I've heard a couple of dates for div10....so once we know for sure I'll post dates on our schedule! I'll go delete my other post about deleting the days...sorry ladies!

Comment by proudksmom on November 14, 2010 at 12:50pm: Does anyone have a daughter named Ashley that left out of Denver.

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on November 14, 2010 at 12:21pm: The last letter I got from my son he said Mom stop asking me when Battle Stations is, I do not know. So I guess I will stop asking and just wait for a call. I'm really hoping it is the week of Thanksgiving because I am on vacation that week and willn't have to worry about him calling while I'm at work.

Comment by allie(Wife of BenEM) on November 14, 2010 at 9:52am: DIV 10 has BattleStations Weds, the day before Thanksgiving.

Comment by diannep on November 14, 2010 at 9:10am: @Emily: Please repost the BattleStations date you had. We ARE allowed to post these dates...that whole conversation was so overblown. One of our members checked with PAO and we are allowed to disclose these dates.
Thanks!
