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."

We can't post publicly when their battlestations are for their safety. If anyone finds out they can post that they know when they are, but we have to let each other know privately.

Praying for you RMTz, I understand and sometimes it makes you wonder if there is something going on at the moment you are feeling anxious about your son. Those are the times I pray the hardest for God's protection over my children. It won't be long now before you will get to see him, hug him and have a face to face conversation with him. Just stay prayful and strong!

Thank you Ladies, (SamMySailor, Navybratx3, & Jakes Mom), I knew I would find comfort in you all, thank you for the prayers. I know feel a lot better after communicating with God in prayer. And you are also in my prayers. God Bless You All!

Actually, the posting of BattleStations dates is not so much a safety issue. The days that they run BattleStations is an easily found fact on the internet (they run them most nights except for Fri/Sat nights). We used to be able to post a BattleStations schedule on this site up until about 2 yrs ago (I would do it). Then....RTC asked that we please start having the ladies practice OPSEC during BattleStations. They want you to pretend that BattleStations, when your SRs are encountering potential situations that they could really encounter when deployed, is under OPSEC rules....when a ship is deployed. Which means....no discussion of ship movement/activity/location until after the fact. So....that is why we can only private message the BattleStations dates now! I DO post a schedule after they complete BattleStations, so there will be a record of the dates in the BattleStations discussion in the Forum up top.

I am completely incapable of waiting for my husband! I call him and ask him if he wants me to read it to him. Nope, he'll wait until he gets home. Then I tell him almost everything anyway because I'm so excited.
