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 Marianne(Ship04/Div807) on April 3, 2011 at 9:23pm: Time to light those blue candles.

Comment by diannep on April 3, 2011 at 8:45pm: They sometimes give them a little time to nap on the floor near their bunks after BattleStations...catnap. Not allowed on the bunks. Then it is energy drinks, candy bars, sodas...to keep them awake until they go to sleep at 8 pm! I bet that is the best night of sleep they get for the entire bootcamp!

Prayers for the SRs going through tonight~

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on April 3, 2011 at 8:29pm: Hoping that I will be able to sleep tonight! Jajaio Wow 40 hours!, Our son's division is going tonight! I guess we won't get the call until tomorrow afternoon or evening- It seems thats when people were getting their calls! Good luck to all of ou recruits, thoughts and prayers going out for them and their families.

Comment by Jajajo on April 3, 2011 at 8:09pm: She had watch duty before battlestations. The recruits are so motivated and driven this last phase they'll push through anything:) Good luck to all the recruits!

Comment by MamaMia on April 3, 2011 at 8:00pm: Jaja-40 hours? You're making me feel guilty for going to bed on time tonight knowing they'll be up working so hard all night! I sure hope I get the call! Sending loving thoughts to them all tonight!

Comment by Jajajo on April 3, 2011 at 7:51pm: My daughter said they didn't start till about 8:30 pm Great Lakes time. After it was all done she had been up for almost 40 hours....it had been a very long 2 days and almost 2 nights. But she hung in there and overcame the exhaustion. She is now a Sailor. Best wishes and thoughts to all divisions doing battlestations tonight and also to the families. Tomorrow will be a proud day when you receive the "I'm a Sailor!" call:) Good luck!

Comment by Ragdollrae HM A school SA on April 3, 2011 at 7:43pm: I am pretty sure that it is around 8 pm CST MamaSeal.

Comment by MamaMia on April 3, 2011 at 7:41pm: What time do they start BS or are they already in progress. Let's hope the colds of last week are all better -it's going to be a long night!

Comment by Marianne(Ship04/Div807) on April 3, 2011 at 6:39pm: Praying for all of the recruits going through Battlestations tonight! Can't wait until tomorrow for the call.
