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."

The grand finale for the recruits.  Here is a weblink that explains it to you:

 

www.navytimes.com/news/2007/09/navy_bootcamp_070909w/

 

Also, go to www.youtube.com and put in 'CNN BattleStations 21" and watch that video.  Just a glimpse into what they do! 

The capping ceremony is early the next morning...they trade their recruit caps for sailor caps!  YAH!

The calls home start between 2 and 3 pm GL time...but on the day before PIR, they can start earlier.

They're almost there!

 

Here is a tentative schedule.  Please confirm or dispute on this group so we can change it:

 

Sun, Nov 21st -    Div.   005, 006, 007, 008

Dianne, is that common to put on division by itself? seems to me that having company is the way to go :( seems unfair!
Ahhh, Daniel. Fairness is not part of life anymore, don't you know that??? HA! Sometimes, the 900 group would go alone in the smaller PIR groups (5 divisions or so). Usually Sun or Mon nights. But now sometimes they go on Tues nights too in the larger groups. We are always just "guessing" when we make this schedules--going by what the recruits say---because the Navy won't TELL us anything .....DANG! :-) But Jessica and I have been collecting the info for about a year now... sometimes, if there is an 900 and 800 group, they may put them together, but more often, they tag each onto a brother combination.
Daniel. I created 2 PIR groups in August. PIR 8/6 and 8/13. If you go look at those, you will see that the 900 diviisions went alone. What I forgot to mention is that the ones repeating BStations or who had not passed their PFA in time for their own division's BStations sometimes are put with the group that goes alone.
That's very good to know then, thank you for the information, I'm excited we can put a date now, at least an estimate.
Yeah... I figured fairness is long gone! hahaha, it's alright if they don't tell us anything, we'll figure/find out soon enough, and thank you for collecting that information, I'm sure it has been a lot of work! I really appreciate you two doing that for all of us!!
No problem! We "veteran"moms like Jessica, Lala, Lydia, me and others love to help. Any time! Mine PIRed in Feb, Jessica's in Jan of this year. Lydia's in Sept....Lala's around that time too. So there is lots of "fresh" info out there. Good luck to your daughter!
Thank you, she is my fiancee though, and yes, lots of excellent information all around, such a dedicated group, I'm amazed and extremely grateful!!
OOOPS! SO sorry about that...but daughters are great too...so I hear....I have sons!

Ok, Daniel...I'm off the site for a while...you're in charge! Answer the questions wisely! :-)
Hahahaha, I wish I could! yes, daughters and sons are great too, someday in the future I'll be able to tell my own account of it :)
Thanks for the info. The videos were interesting.
/Good luck to those in BattleStations this weekend/next week ! HOOYAH!
