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 Tricsious (07/174) on April 27, 2011 at 3:43pm: Battlestations goes on (8pm-8am I believe) overnight and you will get the I'm a sailor call the next day after passing. I believe there is a link above that will give you lots of info. Our SR's are going to have to tell us when. I have been asking but no response to that question yet. We'll all keep our eyes open for that date and share here if we hear anything.

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on April 27, 2011 at 3:39pm: oh and how long does battlestation last ?

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 27, 2011 at 3:21pm: I'm sure they still work them pretty hard on Sat., it just doesn't count. Lol Go figure!

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 27, 2011 at 3:18pm: Tricsious, good info. Will up the prayers and cards! I was also wondering what they do on Saturdays if that doesn't count toward the "weeks".

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 27, 2011 at 3:17pm: Oops- better take my flag off the front door. I didn't realize I was supposed to wait. I hope I didn't jinx them!!!

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 27, 2011 at 3:16pm: @Brandis Mom-I have them at 4-4 also. I got 3 letters today and she was very worried about this week bc it's hell week. She sahisid this week is uniform inspections, rack inspections, gun training, gun turnover inspection and 5-1 is Test 2. This is a big week for them and she asked for me to pray for her. I think they all need our prayers! They don't count Sat. I wonder what they do all day Sat then. Hmmm

Comment by Brandis_Mom on April 27, 2011 at 2:59pm: They are either in week 5 or towards the end of their week 4, by my estimation I had them as Week 4 day 4 as of today, but I could be totally off, since I am not sure if they count Saturdays or not...
