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."

Wow! I just read that this Div isn't going to have Battlestations 21 until June 15-16th. I hope they pass it cuz we are planning on leaving on the 16th to head for Chicago. Kinda last minute don't you all think? At least we are driving but for some on you getting on planes this can't be good.
What are the blue candles and what do they represent?

the blue candles are lit on the night of battlestations at 8pm and burn untill 8 am to kind of send luck and good vibes. I also got a battery powered led candle for when i am sleeping because I have already burned up one house and dont wanna burn up a second one.

No, I don't think they would call that late. They will probably call that morning right after they get done with Battle Stations 21.
