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."

There is an internet video that talks about what happens during battlestations. I believe they go from 8pm to 8am. But who knows if they have some sort of debriefing that takes place afterwards. I live in Washington, so I'm just going to assume that I'll get a phone call between the hours of 6am and 12pm. I'm sooooo hoping that everyone passes and does an awesome job!
