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 mamaj on February 20, 2010 at 8:33am: my son, Nick, is in div 108..your son might know him..they call him Tony Hawk, (the skate boarder), because my son skates:)

Comment by first time navy mom on February 20, 2010 at 8:12am: My son is in 07 111. His name is Chris. He hasn't said much about his shipmates so that would surprise him. I will mention Victoria's name.

Comment by Lisa Marie on February 20, 2010 at 2:59am: Shopping therapy today.... bought a Red scarf:)

Comment by Lisa S. Harper on February 19, 2010 at 11:33pm: Thanks so much Chris! It does have lots more info and details that my mean girl doesn't give to us! lol! Thanks for the friend invites, I'll take them all! lol!

Comment by Lisa S. Harper on February 19, 2010 at 6:33pm: Chris! Ship 07 Division 111? That's my Vicktoria's division! What's your daughter's name? I'll tell Vicktoria! Anyone else? Let me know everyone's first names and I'll add them in my next letter! She'll get a kick out of it!

Comment by Lisa S. Harper on February 19, 2010 at 5:52pm: Thank you everyone for the support and piece of mind about battlestations! Vicktoria is in Ship 07 Division 111! My boys got their letters from big sis today! We were wondering what was taking so long, they usually come in more frequently, but I see a lot of us were missing letters, maybe it was weather-related! I didn't get mine though, maybe tomorrow! Thanks again guys!

Comment by Nancy69 on February 19, 2010 at 3:00pm: Lisa,
What DIv is your daughter in? I believe BSTs usually start the weekend before PIR (depending on how many divs are graduating) Yes, they usually are given a second chance to go through BST if they fail the first time. But, you won't get the I'm a sailor call - and be 100% positive until they pass Battle Stations (BST) which could be anywhere from Feb 27th through March 4th

Comment by TinaAshleysmom on February 19, 2010 at 2:38pm: skyjan-I'm so sorry to hear what happened. I hope they will let him finish where he left off when he gets well again.

Comment by amanda on February 19, 2010 at 2:36pm: The article someone posted a while back said since it's introduction, only 9 people have ever failed battle sations and they all passed on the second try. I wouldn't be too worried.

Comment by Lisa S. Harper on February 19, 2010 at 2:11pm: I have one fear everyone! What if we make all of the travel arrangements, flight, hotel, car rental, etc., and our daughter doesn't pass battlestations or something? Will they let us know? We live in Florida so it is a long haul and we have two little guys as well! We have found some good deals on flights and packages going into Chicago from Florida, but I've been putting off booking until I got the definite "go ahead" from our daughter, but still haven't gotten it! Her PIR is March 5th as of her last letter, but can that change? I know the later we book, the more it's going to cost and money is a bit tight at the moment! Thanks for letting me vent guys! Any ideas on what to do?
