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."

**UPDATE 7/29/2021** You now must be fully vaccinated in order to attend PIR:

In light of observed changes and impact of the Coronavirus Delta Variant and out of an abundance of caution for our recruits, Sailors, staff, and guests, Recruit Training Command is restricting Pass-in-Review (recruit graduation) to ONLY fully immunized guests (14-days post final COVID vaccination dose). Still limited to 2 guests maximum.

Specific information on this policy change will be provided in the coming days and weeks.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your support.

RESUMING LIVE PIR - 8/13/2021 - ONLY 2 GUESTS ALLOWED

**UPDATE - 2020**

Due to COVID there is no public PIR. The graduations are on Thursday, and the video of the graduation is posted on RTC's FaceBook on Friday at approx 3pm. Please keep in mind that a division may need to complete additional quarantine during training which will delay their graduation.

Comment by MissCarol3 on November 20, 2020 at 2:34pm: Hi all! I'm new to the military. Today is day #13 of OCS for my son and 27 days since he left home (14 day mandatory quarantine). Not sure if the sailors will get their phones back for a Thanksgiving call...I sure hope so. Miss him sooooo very much! Proud Navy Mama!!!

Comment by Charine on July 14, 2020 at 6:09am: Hello, I’m new here ... my son is on his way to bootcamp in Chicago ...

many other mom whose son/daughter is on his way to Chicago today??

Comment by Diane on April 9, 2019 at 11:15pm: We received our son's package of clothes and it made me laugh. I have a feeling it was the LAST time he will just drop his britches, and pick them up to pack them ever again. No folding, not even an attempt at folding. Looking forward to seeing that sea bag the first time he packs that!! Miss my boy but so stinking proud.

Comment by Noni on June 13, 2018 at 6:40pm: I would think another doctor took over the practice. The hospital I think will be able to give you answers to your questions.
