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."

My son is in Div 903. Like the rest of you I have set up camp at the mail box and take my phone EVERY WHERE!! Hopefully the next several weeks go by quickly. I have my plane tickets, hotel reservations and tissues ready. Anyone else going to Chicago that is from Florida. I believe my SR will be going to Pensacola for A school.

Facebook friends, an announcement for 30 NOV PIR: There will be FIFTEEN divisions graduating Nov. 30th. RTC is abiding by the policy that Active Duty/military retirees and children twelve and under do not count toward the 4 invitations each recruit receives. However, if an individual is not on the access list they will NOT be able to enter the drill hall (NO stand by). Please plan on arriving at least two hours before the ceremony, which begins promptly at 9 a.m. Thanks to all for your continued support of Recruit Training Command, the Navy's only boot camp! -

Has any one received a letter from this group my husband wrote to his mom mom he said it was the 18th he was getting his teeth fixed and that he wouldn't be able to write till the week end. I was getting worried with others getting letters but sounds like the 21st was first written day. And didn't seem he had gotten my letters.
