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."

Hi MShell19 we usually wouldnt know which Div. will go that can be asked in your PIR date. it usually posted elsewhere. They start with the lowest-numbered divisions and move up---not including the 800/900 in that sequence. They can start on Wednesday or Thursday, a week before PIR. They do not go on Friday or Saturday nights because of the weekend and Captains Cup (a fun athletic competition between the divisions in that TG) on Saturday. Then they can resume on Sunday-Wednesday nights, depending on how large the PIR group is and how many of those nights they will need.

First, a reminder that BS dates cannot be posted publicly. The RTC considers BS as ship movement and that is part of OPSEC regulations.
Battle Stations for a TG happens at the end of training week six. I am not sure where you heard divisions 311/312 are doing BS right now, it just is not possible. There are two training groups prior to yours that have yet to start. BS are completed by TG, and divisions within a TG, both are done in numerical order. The TG graduating tomorrow just completed BS yesterday.
Battle Stations for a TG are now being done the week of PIR, usually starting on the Sunday prior to PIR. For larger TGs, those with nine or more divisions, may start on Thursday the week before PIR.
Keep watching for posts about BS in your PIR group, diannep will keep you posted on Bs info, she has the scoop. Your recruit has some time before BS, I promise. :)

There will be times when the number is reduced to three due to the number of recruits graduating
