Thank you. I had been wondering which division would be going through Battlestations with 813. Looks like they're on their own!

CaronmsH; Normally, the 900 or 800 divisions tag on to a set of brother divisions to go through (2-4 divisions can go at a time). If there had just been one 900 division in this PIR group, they sometimes go with them, and they still could possibly go with the set of 900 divisions. If you hear a date, please post and I will start a schedule up top.

will our SR's be able to tell us when their Battlestations are? I didn't think that it could be posted.

Long story about the posting, CaronmsH. We are allowed to here. FB ladies were getting very loose lipped so RTC warned them not to do that. We checked with RTC back when they warned them in the Fall. We are ok posting on N4Moms If we aren't to know, your SRs won't tell you! :-) They just don't want it on such a public site as FB is---they want the ladies to practice what they should/shouldn't say on FB. Even though this is a public site also, there is a little more protection. RTC just wants the ladies on FB to practice OSPEC rules...such as ship locations, destinations, etc...so no worries. In fact, recently....one of the Navy ship's FB page was shut down by the Navy because of "loose lips" on there. Sad...because it endangers everyone when they do that. To me, it is always better to share in groups on N4Moms where we aren't allowed to disclose last names. That is the danger with FB.
It is common knowledge that BattleStations are done most every night of the week, except Fri/Sat nights. It is also common knowledge (posted on the RTC site, as a matter of fact) when the PIRs are. So if there was a threat to our sailors, it would be on PIR day when families/sailors are all contained in that one building. I don't think there is anything to worry about. We have been posting BattleStations schedules on here for well over a year now with no problems.

I hand wrote it into a questionnaire for my SR...hopefully he gets the hint that I would like to know. I think I've asked at least twice, and I know I write a lot so it can be easy to forget stuff I asked for. But he has been a man of very little words when it comes to informing me on what's going on with him at RTC. When and if I hear, I'll let you know.

HA! No problem. They actually aren't told when it is until about 2-3 weeks before so he may not have known.

My SR said her BS was 1 week prior to her PIR. Not sure if that was Official or scuttlebutt.
