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^^^^^
Here is a link to provide you with the BattleStations (their final test) info:
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir562011/forum/topics/battlestati...
Brother divisions in this PIR group:
263+264, 265+266, 267+268
940
Please post on here (not link page) if you have any questions. Be sure to look at the link I put on the bottom of the "link" page for the presentation prepared by "Craig", retired Navy. It has photos and explanations for you about the base, etc.
HOOYAH!
^^^^Ladies, we can no longer post BattleStations dates on N4Moms. Sooooo....if you hear of a date, please "private message" it by using the "Send Message to Group" prompt at the top of the PIR page. I will maintain a schedule here and send it back out to you all via the same way when it is complete. I think it is important for you all to know when your SRs are going through, but we must maintain privacy on the public boards with this info. Thanks!

navysgravymom, I used the candles that are in a jar. I have a cat and I just thought it would be safer.
I would also light a candle when I knew my son had a PFA test. = Personal Fitness Assessment.

Great idea, Sandy. Also, some who are afraid of fire hazards get the "electric" candles to "burn."

Good Morning friends :)
Got a letter from my daughter she's Div 267, indicating what phases they're in and when Battle Stations are scheduled.....
I will need your help deciphering this info and determining where we are (LOL).
On July 20th
- Currently in 3-1 phase
Phases left:
- 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5
- 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5
- 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, 5-5
Next is week 6, 7, 8 - Battle Station is scheduled for week 7

Ok.....what this means is this:
the "3-2, 3-3. etc" are the weeks/days they are in. So if the day she wrote the letter was 3-1 for her division, week 3 day 1, then that same weekday each week will be "day 1" for them. So, say her 3-1 was on a Tuesday, you will know that each Tuesday, she is starting her next week. Weekends do not count in the day count and so as you can see, they only go up to day 5. If her day 4 is a Friday, then her day 5 will be Mondays. I suggest that you write down when her day 3-1 was on your calendar and then you can keep up with her training!
Week 4 is "Hell Week." This because they are up earlier each day, have lots of inspections and activities that week, and are very busy!
My son's Battlestations was either day 6-5. or 7-1 His division was first to go in his PIR group (Thurs night a week before PIR). They PIR in week 7.

Thank you :) you are so helpful.
Okay I counted it up, and looks like 267's battle stations will be 6-5 or 7-1 as (7-1) is two days before PIR.
I will keep you posted on any new info....
