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."

Thanks, Donna. That seems a bit late for them to start, since your son's division and 203 will be the first to go. But will put it down for Mon/Tues, the 13th and 14th. Let me know if you hear differently! They usually start the Thurs a week before PIR. But change is a part of the Navy so I never say never! :-)

my son hasn't said when his was. i was going by the posts and comments on FB that they usually make the "i'm a sailor" call the week before PIR and they won't make that call unless they pass battle stations. i could be reading it wrong, though. anyway SO EXCITED FOR 6/17!!! HOOYAH!!! God bless all our guys and gals!

I forgot my husband is home today. I had him look at my sons last letter and he said Battlestations on the 13th. I don't know what to think. I wantthe right date so I can light a blue candle and send them all well wishes.

thanks for the info. just hope PIR doesn't change for our SRs. :)

mom2srmartin: It shouldn't....unless they individually get setback. Their division should PIR on time. So should all of the others in this group.
By the way, if that is your SR's last name in your screen name, you probably need to take that out of your screen name. Even though PIR is close, you can't disclose last names on the Navy for Moms site--ever. So it will be the same problem in whatever groups you go to from here. Best to change it now! :-)

moms2sr....: They should PIR on time. All of the divisions should. Now, an individual could be set back, but the divisions will be at their PIR.
Also, if that is your SR's last name in your screen name here, you may want to take that out. No SR's last names are allowed on Navy for Moms for Navy security...so best to change it. Thanks!
