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."

My Nephew's letter from Thursday said he had Battlestations Monday 6/13.  He is in Ship 2/Div 931.  I'm pretty sure they went last night.  My son got an hour for the "I'm a Sailor" call, so we hope for the same.  Battlestations start at approx. 8pm and last 12 hours from when it starts.  Calls seem to start around 2 GL time.  Remember there are only 40 phones and they have to schedule this for those that get their phone calls, some may be on watch.  Also, check your Facebook, Emails, have your IMs up!  After my sons call he also got to use Facebook and other moms reported getting email/IM.  You can see my PIR 6/3/11 group for all the information on what moms received/discussed after Battlestations.

does anyone know how many minutes our guys get for the "i'm a sailor" call?
Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 14, 2011 at 8:30am
I'll be waiting for my call. Phone is stuck to me like glue.
Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 14, 2011 at 7:53am
diannep, I'm wondering if 931 went last night too.  Why are you thinking they did?  If anyone gets calls, would you mind asking what divisions went through last night?  Thanks!

Thanks Diannep

I hit the X and it deleted the post. Meant to edit it..oh well

Comment by diannep on June 14, 2011 at 7:52am
Be waiting for I'm a Sailor calls to come in around 2 pm GL time today...unless a sailor has "watch". Please ask your sailor if all in the divison passed and post that for others to see.  Calls could come a bit earlier or later, so phones glued to bodies all day!  Will be interesting to see if 931 went last night.  I'm thinking that they did...

I have my blue candle lit for my Nephew 2/931 and all the other SR's tonight.  My Son had Battlestations 2 weeks ago...the whole Division passed!!  Let's hope for the same thing tonight!  I've recently (our PIR was 6/3/11) been through all of this, so let me know if you have any questions!  Good luck to your SR's!!
