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 All! So does anyone know how long before PIR the I Am A Sailor calls come?
-
-

According to the information I have read -- the "I'm a Sailor" calls usually start around 2 pm GL time, but sometimes
start later. BS is a 12 hour drill test that runs all night and into the early morning -- so the calls will come in later that afternoon. I'm still waiting to hear from my SR as to the "date" they are expected to run BS. If anyone receives this info -- please private message me the date (so we're in compliance with OPSEC) -- and I'll do the same for everyone else if I find out. :)9 MORE DAYS!!!

Yes, the I'm a Sailor calls can start as early as 2 pm....but many times will start later. Phones glued to you all day! Some divisions in this PIR group will start receiving their I'm a Sailor calls tomorrow afternoon (not these divisions). You all will be last to go through and can expect your calls next week!

This is going to be the longest week / weekend EVER! Going to be so happy to hear the excitement and joy from everyone else -- but I'm going to feel like the kid sitting on the bench waiting to play too. :) Pick me coach -- pick me!! LOL

Yes.....I can't help the jealous twinge creeping through....I try, but thank goodness for you guys. Not hearing from my son is typical, but frustrating. Not knowing what they are doing, and hearing no official confirmation on BST dates is just driving me nuts!!!!! I just have to assume that if I ave not heard from him he has passed everything! And thanks to KaylaMom, we know that not all of our division news is the doom & gloom that we have been fed by our male SRs!!!!!
I just wish I knew that the tests had all gone OK, PFAs have been passed, and even though we don't get the calls and emails the others will be getting, that it s just a matter of time!!!
I seem to remember someone saying that their final PFA was today - does anyone remember that? I need to look back in our group!
Well, we have each other & should take advantage of that - it is going to be hard seeing the posts & celebrating for others while worrying about out own :) -
