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, Div 85 - You are approaching a hectic time for your SRs. Be sure to see if you can get a firm BS21 date from your division's SRs!
I'm a 2x Navy Mom and am helping one of the other moms in this PIR organize "Scarf colors" . . . do you want to do this? If so, I'll be maintaining a list for you in the larger group. Ping me when you choose! I see you have some veteran moms in your group who can explain this activity further. Bottom line - YOU choose a color you'll like : )
Feel free to connect - I'll help if I can. : )

Linda - BS21 is the shorthand for Battlestations!! This is the 12 HOUR, overnight, culminating training event for your SR and a simulation of everything they learned under as close to real conditions as possible. You can find more info in the battlestations discussion in the larger PIR group page and on youtube.
