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."

So sorry for your loss. I will be praying for your fiancee as well.
I read somewhere today that battlestations is actually one of the funest times for the SR's -- that if you ask them they enjoy this the most out of anything... maybe because it is the finale. I hope for the best for all our guys... again special prayers to those in need.
