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."

No news posted yet. If you talk to your recruit, ask about BStations and report on here or on the main board, ok?

Okay - I sort of knew what Battlestations was all about, but googled it anyways. Came up with this video clip from CNN which gives us a small glimpse of the simulator and what our SR's will be doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jibm7kyIGcM

My recruit from DIV 355 said Friday.

TCarp: There are no BattleStaitons on Friday, but he probably meant that they FINISH on Friday and are capped as sailors then. YAH! 355 goes through starting around 8 pm Thurs night, finishing up Fri morning. Your "I'm a Sailor "call will come in the afternoon. Keep that cell phone handy at all times!
