OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Welcome to the PIR 06/15/2012 TG 31

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

If they aren't up in the morning, keep checking back throughout the day.

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2012 at 4:12pm: ...thanks for the info on 177/178!

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2012 at 4:11pm: Yes, sometimes they do that, Paula. But other times, they just have one (usually 900 division), a couple of divisions, or three go through. I have the schedules back to about two years ago....

The current PIR group doing BattleStations had 4 go through the first night, but will be having 3 go through another night, and then 2 going through a couple of nights. So you never know!

Comment by PNSCTNMom on June 3, 2012 at 4:07pm: Pam
Would you kindly PM me the BS date for 181?
Thanks

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on June 3, 2012 at 3:48pm: DianneP I sent you the information for 177/178 for BS. I did read the information about BS and that's where I got the normally 4 divisions go through at a time. i also know when 181/182's BS is and they are exactly 4 divisions behind us in dates.

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on June 3, 2012 at 3:45pm: That's why a few of us have FB accounts set to closed group Lars. DianneP, I have the date for mine. Lars, IF they follow the 4 divisions at a time, yours will not be until the following week. I'm sorry I can't help you more with information.

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2012 at 1:44pm: Ladies, if you have heard dates from your SRs for BattleStations, can you please friend request/private message them to me? I like to keep schedules of each PIR group. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on June 3, 2012 at 1:36pm: Questions on here are always welcome, Lars! I used to be able to post a BattleStations schedule in each PIR group starting way back in 2010. Did that for about 1.5 years before RTC told us to stop doing it. Sure made it much easier for ladies to know BattleStations dates. Many wanted to take time off from work so as not to miss their "I'm a Sailor" calls.

So when they asked us to take the schedules off the site, it became tricky. So now, we have to private message dates....

Having said that, all other questions are very welcome on this site! And people can even post, asking if someone can pm them the BattleStations date for their division. That is an allowable post, of course.

Comment by Hm-in-the-Fam-Mom on June 3, 2012 at 12:21pm: Thanks so much for pointing out my faux pas. if we aren't supposed to ask questions, why are we here?
