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."

Anyone else have loved ones in this division? I could use some help understand what this division is about, the note on the back of the form said he is in the drill division. I know that means he preforms at his PIR and two before his, but I'm curious about what that means as far as his time in RTC and after.

Jackie, you rock!! Thanks for being on top of the trivia. You have made our week.

Here is your Trivia Tuesday Picture!

Just click to open in a new page and then ZOOM and find your recruit...remember don't identify them by name please! ;-)

Hello all - First time on here.  Thanks for all the valuable info.  I have received 2 letters from my son and one phone call so far and he sounds great.  I can't believe they are over 1/2 way thru.  Thanks for being on top of the trivia game you made my week.

Welcome Clara!  We are happy to have you.  We also have a forum going on U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command on Facebook, you are welcome to join us there also and if you have a FB please feel free to send me a friend request. 

Hi  Glo - Thank you.  Sorry but I am not on fb, but will continue to check these comments here. I am still trying to figure out how to use this website.

Anybody know of a good place to eat after PIR?  My SR mentioned he wanted to go to Connie's.  The only Connie's I could find was a pizza place.  Also have you heard how we find our SRs after the ceremony.  There division will not be on the floor and I think they will be in different places so I was wondering if we have to try to know of a place to meet them.  Can't believe it is getting so close. 

I got info on battlestations. Message me if you would like me to share this info.
