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."

My letter yesterday said that 927 was going to Battlestations on Mothers Day..
So I guess we will just have to wait and see.

jamie - where are you driving from? i know, i'm getting SO excited. i went shopping today for my pir outfit... i thought that would make me excited, but it just stressed me out!
Comment by Jaime (USS Abraham Lincoln) on May 8, 2010 at 5:48pm
thank you! my husband said he is "scheduled" to call on the 13th between 2 and 3 so i figured he would do battle stations before that. i am anxiously waiting for that call!
Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 8, 2010 at 5:47pm
I believe DIV 189 will start Battle Stations on the 11th and finish on the 12th sometime between 12-4pm (their time).
Comment by Jaime (USS Abraham Lincoln) on May 8, 2010 at 5:41pm
t-wifey - my husband is in the same ship/div as yours. i am getting so excited to make the trip up there. my kids and i will be driving up so it should be an adventure!
Comment by jamierl16(Ship 14 Div 190) on May 8, 2010 at 5:36pm
he wrote his mom and told her that he was.
Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 8, 2010 at 5:36pm
My phone will not leave my side until I get the call until I get that call. I wish they could call home on Mother's Day, but no one but the Navy knows why they do what they do. I am just so happy that my daughter sent me a homemade card on Navy stationary and I will cherish it forever. This is the first one we won't be together for. I promised her that I won't breakdown and I am going to try to keep that promise to her.
Comment by Jaime (USS Abraham Lincoln) on May 8, 2010 at 5:22pm
I was wondering when my husband would go through battle station and since he is in div 189 I am guessing it will be around the 10th or 11th? I am really ready to go up there to see him. How did you find out if your sailor is an honor graduate?
Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 8, 2010 at 5:22pm
If he's an honor graduate, I know he gets his name on this website:
http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/honor_grads.asp
I'm not quite sure as to what else happens though.
Comment by jamierl16(Ship 14 Div 190) on May 8, 2010 at 5:01pm
I finally got my letters today and Justin told us he will be a honor graduate does anyone know what happens if their a honor graduate?
