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."

Battlestations 21
JessicaB posted this on our page so I just moved it up here to help keep track...
Here is what I know about BS21
1. They ALWAYS go in numerical order.
2. They always go with their brother division as they have done all training with them.
3. 800 and 900 div are thrown in anywhere in between (however, I imagine if they have a brother division, that they would go with them).900 div usually goes on Mon
4. Anywhere from 2-4 divisions can go per night. Why sometimes 2 and sometimes 4- who knows.
5. BS is from 8:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m.
6. You will get your calls between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
After the capping ceremony in the a.m., they have to clean the ship, eat, shower, etc
Not all the new Sailors call home...some have othere dutys, have to stand watch, if they are honor rcts or award winners have to practive for PIR
So when you get your call ask if everybody in the div passed and then post it here

so that means when would they call us i wonder with the "i'm a sailor call" robbi? we'll already be traveling on thursday the 30th at 3am!

yes me too, but don't take my word for it, he didnt come right out and say that was the date...if BS for 13/330 is 28th or 29th then that would make sense if our division follows them.

Robbi, BS goes in order of division. 323/324 go together, 325/326 go together, etc. The 900 division and the 800 division are thrown in somewhere. 329/330 would go last. It is possible that 327/328 and 329/330 would go on Wednesday night to Thursday morning and therefore calls would come while family is travelling. What we need are phone calls to confirm when each division is going.

Wow so it sounds like 327/328 329/330 are all going on the 28th-29th? My SR said in last letter that he would call on the 29th too.
That is a bunch of them all going at one time. -
