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."

I originally posted this question in the general forum (9/16) I don't know if you all noticed the reply from the Command Career Counselor (above): "That information is not out for public knowledge at this time. I went back and reply if it will be post at all if so, when:? I have not seen a reply yet.... It seems we "gonna" need to rely on our kids.... I would have to ask the same thing as Linda... If any one finds out .... Please let the rest of us know...

If the battle stations last 12 hours and it starts at night and the "I am Sailor" call comes in right after that; since I am flying the day before during the morning, I hope I am not to be on the air when he calls....Does any one have an idea around what time they start?

347s BS21 is 10/13 beginning at 2000 and going to 0800. Got the official word on the call today with my son. They are on CDT so they will be 1 hour behind us using EDT. So for me I will have to be praying and lighting my blue candle from 1900 to 0700 and then hopefully the call will come in sometime then.

Dudesgirl, my son wrote and told me that Thursday (Oct. 7th) will be his division 342 and I believe the brother division which is 341. I don't know when anyone else is completing Battle Stations. You should know sometime this week I'm sure!
