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."

Got a letter from my daughter today and just got a phone call from her saying she probably wouldn't get to call again until after Battle Stations. She kept telling me she was doing good but I could tell she was really trying hard not to let me hear her cry...just killś me. She had done well on her first academic test. So proud of her and the strength she is showing to get through this. Kept thinking this would get easier.

Hi, just wondering, what are Battle Stations and when are they? My son is Ship 3/Div.14 and he did mention that he is in integrated division, so probably with your daughter-my son said he did well on physical test and was going to take another test- probably the academic test.....

My understanding is that battle stations is their final test. 12 hours long. I looked up battle stations on this site and there is lots of information.

Got a phone call yesterday that my whole family missed! I was so upset when I saw "payphone" on caller id in the late afternoon....no one was home....and he said he hasn't gotten any letters from us....that saddens me too because I sent my letter over a week ago! He sounded so bummed that he hasn't heard from us.... On a lighter note...I did book all my reservations for our trip out to Chicago...very excited about all that. We are staying in Marriott- Spring Hill ...got good reviews

Hi Shelly....did you make your reservations yet? I do have it all planned out and confirmations are set. I keep reading on this site for tips and info..... so much to take in, but soooo happy those who have had this expeience before us are helping us make some good decisions...... I just cannot wait for Nov. to come....and I am carrying the phone all over the house with me so that I don' dare miss another call! How about you?
