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."

Ladies, be careful about what you post here....especially when sharing personal info that your SRs have shared with you about RDCs, etc.  Not a good idea.  They DO read these pages, including the discussions.  Better to be more general!  Just click on the "x" in the post box if your info is too specific.  Thanks!

Any BattleStations dates received?  If so, please private message them....they can't be posted on the site.  I would appreciate receiving a private message as well since I'm keeping a schedule.  Thanks!

Sorry I have been MIA...Crazy here..BUT I have been keeping up juat not able to respond..9 days!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!

Has anyone looked at the photos posted on the facebook page today?  I think that the next to last one is of 132.  I am pretty sure I see my son but it is hard to tell for sure.

IT IS!!! My boy is holding the flag!!! How exciting to FINALLY see a picture of them..It totally made my day!!

Can you direct me to facebook page, thanks

Tiffany, which flag is he holding? 

The division flag....with Glasses...

what is the facebook page called?

Can somebody post the facebook link....AND OMG!!! I AM GETTING SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I am just as as excited and happy as the day he was born. And I thought college graduation was something.

 

Can I get a woot! woot!

Wow I wish I had found this site many weeks ago when BC started. It sure would have helped with my worrying about letters and phone calls. My BF is Ship 11 Div 132 also. Now with only like 8 or 9 days to go I have received letters as well as calls but in the first few weeks I was worried. He has said much of the same in his letters as you all described in the letters you received. I also followed the link to Facebook and thanks so much for posting the link. I also had no idea that existed either. I honestly do not know too much about the NAVY or military for that matter and I'm starting to catch on by reading the posts. Thank you all :)
