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."

How do we find out when your SR is doing Battlestations?
Only your SR can tell you that.  We get our info from them reporting to you...posting on here. 
ok thankx.
Thanks so much!  I will start the schedule then!
what does it mean for the brother divisions? My SR is in div 196 which you didn't list..
OOOPS!  Thanks for bringing that to my attention...I had listed 195 twice.  UGH.  Corrected now.  195 and 196 are brother divisions.  That means that they train with them and will go through BattleStations with them.  Be sure to click on the link above to read what they do in BattleStations. 
you mean... 195 and 196 will do the battlestations on the 2nd of June?

No, not necessarily.  Just means that they will go together.  We have not been given a date for 195/196 yet.  Post if you hear from your SR.  I have only received the date for 193/194 so far.

DIANNE IF YOU READN FACE BOOK.. THEY SAID THAT THE RECRUITS ARE NOT ABLE TO GIVE OUT BATTLESATION INFO ANY MORE ? 
Been there, done that, FREEBIRD.  This came up last Fall, also on FB.  One of our veterans called RTC.  They were surprised that we knew about it on this site.  The guy she talked to was actually the one who posted the FB warning.  He said that we were fine in posting dates.  Believe me, if the SRs are not allowed to tell you dates, they wouldn't!  They know better than to break the rules.  The RTC guy said that the ladies on FB were getting very "loose lipped" and they needed to be more cautious. I'm not a fan of FB for that reason...even though I'm on it.  I'm amazed at what people post and it could be quite dangerous to our troops. But BattleStations?  They are performed about 5 nights out of the week, every week. There is no risk to our SRs.  They just want the FB ladies to practice following OPSEC rules for the safety of the sailors. I have been doing this now for well over a yr with no issues.  I think we're fine.
Thanks for this info. Makes sense. :) I can't believe what some people post on facebook sometimes...ugh.
Yep, I have some "friends" on my FB that are my either my sons' friends or my friends' children. I never friend them (some things I just prefer NOT to know, you know???)...but they friend me.  Some of those with families post when they are leaving town, going to the movies, going to sleep, what they ate....etc.  Wow....WAY too much info, I think!  :-)
