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!************
This will be held the week of PIR for this group because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Normally, they would have started that Thurs night (a week before PIR). But not with Thanksgiving that day. There are none on Fri or Sat nights, so they should start for your recruits on Sunday night, Nov 28th. Please start asking your recruits for the date their division will go through.
They can go through with 2 divisions, 3 divisions, or 4 divisions. The 800 and 900 divisions can go with 2 brother divisions, or with each other.
Here is a great link so you know what they do during this time:

Please post below and on the main board when you get a date! for your division---make sure to put the division number that you are reporting for. I will keep a schedule on here and Sherri can start one on the main page too.
**BATTLESTATIONS SCHEDULE**
Tues, Nov 23rd Div 09, 10
Mon, Nov 29th Div 11, 12, 13, 14

Sherri: You are kind of right on posting the BattleStations info on Facebook. That was the original intent of the message from RTC....because too much info was being shared on FB about it. But we are ok here with it here on this site!

My son is in DIV 015. When he called last night, he mentioned Nov 30. Since that's so close to PIR, I'm hopeful for a letter soon to verify exactly when BS21 will be scheduled for him.
