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."

Has he told you what part he is playing in the games? My husband was chosen as 1 of the 7 for tug of war. Which is kinda funny as he is not exactly muscular built. He is extremely strong for his body build though. lol What other games do they play.

Risa, Battlestations happens in the last week of BC. That is there last and final test, it is a test of everything they have learned. It starts in the evening and i think it is for 10 hours. They fight fires flooding in compartments. They have to move ammunition, save people (Dummies). They have to prove they are ready for the Navy. Once done they take off their recruit caps and put on their Navy caps. That is when they make their final call home and tell us they are now Sailors in the United States Navy!!!!!!!
