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."

I know those processing days can take a while though. :) It's great that you got to speak with your son! Here's hoping they get to make their calls this week! Thanks again, Iove hearing any news!

Our SR told us what aspect of PIR he will be performing in, so we can make sure to look for him specifically at his PIR and the two previous ones that he will be in. If you follow RTC on Facebook, they always post lots of pictures of the 900 division and a picture of each division entering the drill hall with their flag every Friday. It is a good way to get extra pictures of them before we get to see them on the big day!

Thanks for sharing so much info here. For some reason I just saw this discussion page. My son was really happy with the food too. I was surprised because he's so picky. Lol.
