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'm scared too. My SR apparently failed something, I looked it up and couldn't find anything. But I'll let you know and hope you'll do the same!! :) Keep watching RTC's fb, too.

Sent me a letter. But I figured if it was a problem, he would have already called. :P I know, I'm like shaking. Watching a documentary about Pixar on Netflix to calm my nerves! LOL

Confused on this. They don't make the I'm a Sailor calls until the afternoon they finish. Is it possible that they went through on Wed night, finishing Thurs morning and didn't make calls until late Thurs afternoon? That is what I figured may happen with the holiday being today. Normally they go Thu/F with the first divisions to go through. Hoping that they did go through W/Th and calls came in or will come in today!

They went through last night, like 4 people got phone calls.

No call yet for me either. If they had failed their PFA would we have been notified or would they just keep trying?
-

If they were in any danger of not graduating I think they woulda called by now.

igotanchored: Did he fail his PFA? That is what he has to pass in order to go through Battlestations. Friend me if I can help you. I'm pretty familiar with this stuff!
No BattleStations date yet? Normally they would have gone through last night...graduating to sailors this morning. But with today being Veteran's Day, not sure about that. Have phones handy today just in case!

According to posts on RTC facebook, several people got the call around 4 p.m. yesterday.

Sorry if I am repeating myself, I can't find where I posted this.
We got our call last night around 6:30. He is Div 001 and they did battlestations Wed night/Thurs morning. He wasn't aware of anyone not passing.

Congrats on getting a call! I wonder when the rest of us will? I'm assuming today since they probably have HR due to Veteran's Day...
