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."

A message from the Commanding Officer of RTC
I posted this earlier today. I thought I would make a discussion so that it is readily available to all.
Good morning :-)
The CO of RTC has released a message via video on the RTC Facebook page.

I thought I would just add to this that we now know there are no cell phones being permitted during quarantine. To my understanding, as with most things in military life, the rules were not being followed by all and unfortunately the whole is having to pay the consequences.
I believe they are still allowed 1 - 2 small paperback books, maybe a small electronic game (don't take anything expensive), and also send some SASE with paper for them to write home - they can also take some extra stamps. - All of this can change on a daily basis depending on how the SRs are handling their orders.
As well, currently, we don't believe that anyone one is being allowed to go to MEPS and see their recruits swear in. There may be a FB live feed, so be sure to check with the recruiter. You should anticipate to say all of your good byes and get as many hugs prior to dropping your recruit off with his / her recruiter.
