OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

My son does not have any musical talent. But if you look at the Facebook site for our group it says our boys are in the Staff division:
Staff - Staff are the AROC & RPOC (the guys that call the commands) Master at Arms, Side-boys rail guards, door guards, body snatchers (sailors walking isles of the performance at PIR to catch sailors who may feel faint from standing too long) & State Flags - This includes the Color Guard (those that carry in the U.S. Flag, Navy Flag & Rifles)
Hope that helps. It also says that the people picked for this division have either been in college, ROTC, Color Guard or something. After racking my brain I think my son may have been picked because he was a Police Explorer. They need this group to be responsible and/or familiar with what they are doing because it requires a lot of extra work on their part. It is a huge honor to be part of it.....That's what I've read. Are you part of the 900 division site and the PIR 3-22 sites on FB?

SWCC works with the navy seals. If he does not get to test, or doesn't pass it, he is also going to Pensacola. My son settled on a job that is not for him at all!!..... But he wanted to be in the Navy.
Can't wait to hear something from him. It just seems like such a long time with no contact :( Maybe we will get lucky and get a call Saturday morning.
