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 TracyJ77- I told my SR to call my cell phone so I don' t miss the call- but I do think we will get the calls on Thursday which is the 21st...
But he did say that things can change.

Hi NavyMom4J, I too will get the call on my cell (don't have home phone). The SR's will go thru battlestations on Thursday around 8pm GL time and will finish around 7 or 8am on Friday morning (if that is when they go thru). We should get our calls sometime on Friday, some say between 2pm and 7pm, but their RDC could let them call anytime! My nephew graduated from BC a week ago and my sister-in-law got her call around 4pm, that would be 3pm GL time.

Oh you are right-!! They will have a very busy week. I am so glad that they will get Battle Stations out of the way before Captains cup! J said the last week is called "Gold"week...Haven't found out yet what that means yet. But it sure sounds nice!

Keep praying for DIV 149 and 150 - They go into Battle Stations First! Tomorrow and Friday. By today they should have all passed their last academic test, last fire fighters drill, last drill inspection! ONLY ONE MORE thing to go now. YICKS!!!! Hope we all get calls on Friday!!!!
I will be on pins and needles!! This time we all want that phone call to ring!!!!!

Just curious, if a SR did not pass all requirements to participate in battle stations would the family get a call letting them know? Sorry, just very nervous and can't stop thinking about it.
