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."
Events
**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.
Please note! Changes to this guide happened in October 2017. Tickets are now issued for all guests, and all guests must have a ticket to enter base. A separate parking pass is no longer needed to drive on to base for parking.
Please see changes to attending PIR in the PAGES column. The PAGES are located under the member icons on the right side.

Those interested in getting together in the Raleigh area for lunch sometime in July, please comment here. I had a great time meeting MomthatlovesherSon this past Saturday. Also, I did join the facebook page that Adam'sProudMom told us about called Navy Moms of the Carolinas. There was a Mom on that page interested in meeting other Moms in the Raleigh area too. Hope everyone is having a great week and looking forward to getting a date/place together for those interested to meet. Take care!

Hi moms!
chi'sMom and I had a nice lunch this past Sat. in Garner! Let's plan on having another lunch in the Raleigh/Cary/Garner area in July, sometime after the 4th!
Any suggestions on when and where?

percussionvalentine, there already is a fairly new group on Facebook called Navy Moms of the Carolinas. You're all welcome to join!

I wouldn't know how to do it, but if someone does and wants to be an administrator, we could create a Facebook page of NC Navy moms. It could be "secret" where our comments are not visible to the entire electronic world. Just a thought. Enjoy your get together on Saturday.

Hi chi's Mom,
I'm sorry that I am just now seeing your note. Yes, let's go ahead and eat this Saturday and I like the idea of moms getting together monthly. Let's send private messages on Navy 4 Moms about the details of where and when.

hello ladies. I've been following along today on my phone, but I can't access this site from there. I live in Clayton and work in Garner and would have loved to join you this weekend, but already have plans to be out of town. I met with some ladies once before, but had to drive to Greensboro. I love the idea of a local support group. Have a great visit and I will make plans to join you the next time!
