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."

Don't worry about battle stations, they will do great! The adrenaline will keep them going...I can tell you..they will be tired at the end...but it will be a GREAT experience!

My husband was laughing at me the other day, my days always start with a letter to Casey, then N4M, and then an update on the calendar, trying to figure out what he is doing. I also end my day with N4M and pretty much lots of time in between. I talk to him like he knows who all of you are.
My youngest son and I did find our "battlestation" candle yesterday. Actually, he found it, its red, white and blue and should definately last the 12 hours. So, question would be, does anyone know what time battlestations start? I can see me carrying in my lit candle to work on that day.
When I talked to Casey, he said a few weeks for another call, and I have given up trying to figure it out. So..........my cell phone is with me constantly, even on trips to bathroom. My fear now is that I will miss his call.
