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."

Yep -- graduation is the first time we get on base to see them -- we'll just have to hear about Captain's cup afterwards although I remember sometimes they get a phone call home for winning it -- a big deal -- and with, is it 11?, divisions graduating on 7/30 I expect Battle Stations will run from Monday thru the week until all are done testing - I remember some Mom's explaining they didn't get their call until pretty late in the week - I only know for sure our ship is testing monday.........no way to know anyone else's schedule unless someone gets a letter or call I'm afraid.......Good Luck on Battle stations to all PIR 7/30's - HOO RAAHH!

I talked to my hubby just now and he thinks that BS for 12/259 are Wed, the 28th. (he thinks). He also said that they have gotten 4 flags! They even got one for marching. He said they even surprised themselves! LOL! I asked him about "getting beat" when the cookie wrappers were found, and he said it was a list of exercises that really wore them down. No one admitted to it, so they all had to pay. He said their divsion is progressing well together and as a whole on the last test they all passed, so another flag!
