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."

They will be going through with their brother divisions. I will add those later.
If you have any questions, please post here and not on the link page. Don't forget to check out Craig's link at the bottom of the link page for more info! A great presentation!
We can no longer post BattleStations dates on this site. However, as it gets closer, we are allowed to private message the dates. I will keep a schedule of these and send it out to all by private message so that all will know when their division is going through to pray and get those blue candles lit!
HOOYAH!

Don't have 948's yet. Be asking your SR in a letter or if you get a call and then message me or Send Message to Group from the PIR page. We can't post dates on the site any longer, but I'm collecting them and keeping a schedule that I will send out.
