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."

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2012 at 1:10pm: Your Welcome!

The link for the site is on GLNS WMR - Great Lakes Naval Station, Morale, Welfare and Recreation site. So, they must have a connection with the MWR to get the design.

No, they won't post it but sometimes moms get the shirts (or the recruit has ordered them and it arrives) before PIR and do so.

They have a limited amount (I believe) for sale at the Recreation Center after PIR and you can also order them there after PIR.

The RTC Recreation Center is located right next to Ricky Heaven near the NEX on RTC.

Here is the link to the RTC Graduation Page on MWR:

http://www.mwrgl.com/gen_info/rtc_graduation/rtcgraduation.htm

I believe most bases have an MWR .

Comment by ColoradoMom Nuke ET on January 17, 2012 at 12:29pm: Should be a lot of performing going on at this PIR!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2012 at 12:18pm: Ooops...forgot to post shirt link...it's down again?...sigh...thanks diannep! I'll have to find the other one that has the order form.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2012 at 12:17pm: You are now officially (per RTC website):

TG 16 — 09 Divisions (075–080 & 914–916) Graduate Friday, March 2, 2012

THREE 900 divisions!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 17, 2012 at 10:51am: Thanks so much for sharing about the ribbons I make for everyone to wear to PIR. If anyone would like more info just send me a friend request on here and I will send you the info. You can also email me at uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com and you can look through the photos on my page here or on the link Jamie posted a couple pages back. I am happy to make them for anyone who wants them :-)

Comment by diannep on January 17, 2012 at 8:36am: Division tshirt site is down right now (link below) but try it later. Hopefully it will be back up.

Comment by diannep on January 17, 2012 at 8:32am: Meant to say: "Grad and Go" term, not "RTC term." Sorry!

Comment by diannep on January 17, 2012 at 8:32am: Here's the link to order the division tshirts/sweatshirts(?) that FTLW mentioned below:

http://mwrgl.com/gen_info/rtc_graduation/div_tshirt_order_6_2010.pdf

Here is the phone number too: 972-347-6655

You can receive them before PIR so you can wear them there. Like FTLW said, you may want to check with your SR first to make sure that they weren't already ordered for you. Unless you want extras!

jackie: You are welcome! We N4Moms veterans have gone round and round on the RTC term now for well over a year. RTC wants the term gone, yet the SRs are still given that term. Used to be that some sailors were held until the next week before going to their A Schools, but we have been told that they don't do that anymore and the sailors are shipped off of RTC by the end of the weekend. Sometimes if the Sat. flights are full, they will fly out on Sunday.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2012 at 12:55am: To find out about the basics for Friday and Saturday Departures please read the Family Guide by RTC and the "After PIR Friday and Saturday Departures" discussions...I'll bump them up up above!

But always feel free to ask your questions about them!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 17, 2012 at 12:53am: The Divisions design their personal flags...they then can purchase one for themselves...some also have purchased them for their whole family. So, I would check with your recruit about this first. I will post the link for ordering the Division shirts...but please check with your recruit first. ;-)
