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."

What number did you call to get a message to your recruit?

Nannette6209 - I don't think anyone called but received a call from their recruit. We can't call unless it is an immediate family emergency & then we contact the American Red Cross & they get in touch with RTC to get in touch with a recruit. The number for the Red Cross is on the form letter we all received in week 1 & also explains that this should be used only for a serious family emergency. In the meantime, have a tablet that I am writing down questions I want to ask when he does get an opportunity to call. My phone & my writing tablet go where I go! : )
