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 DCM_Mom(Ship12Div179) on May 4, 2010 at 4:06pm: THEY ARE SAILORS!!!! My son said he didn't think anyone in his division failed! WHOOO HOOOO!!!

Comment by farkus5 on May 4, 2010 at 2:57pm: I am on Pins and Needles too !! Please post when your calls start coming in !

Comment by Cassandra Rose on May 4, 2010 at 1:49pm: My fiance says that if your loved one is in a good division- they will keep eachother awake. Said that his division is constantly punching and smacking eachother when someone starts to fall asleep in any class haha- apparently this whole exhaustion / battling sleep thing is not only limited to battlestations and it's pretty common! He said though that div 184 are looking out for eachother and NO ONE is falling asleep anytime soon haha. Also said that battlestations is going to be a lot more fun than work, and he's really excited for it.

Best of luck to all the recruits going through battlestations the next couple nights.... we're SO CLOSE! :)

Comment by navywife10 on May 4, 2010 at 12:40pm: My husband didnt call until like 5pm on fri after battle stations but said because the cheif was talking to them, said they were supposed to call a little earlier so I would say from 2-6 and he said that almost never does a recruit fail battle stations it's just basically everything they learned throughout BC he said it was more fun than a test. Wish you all the best, looking forward to meeting you all very soon :)

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on May 4, 2010 at 12:24pm: Thanks. My flight leaves early thursday morning and I am staying at the Super 8. Ramada was booked:( I hope to see you there too!

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on May 4, 2010 at 12:13pm: I was wondering the same thing. I am about to go to class and take my final and I hoping he calls after because if I answer the call my professor will fail me. I hope everyone gets their "Im a Sailor Calls" soon:)
