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."

Hi everyone!
Did any of your sailors order the photo package that came with the DVD and a book with pictures from boot camp? My husband ordered that package and I still haven't received it yet. I tried to call the Great Lakes NEX photo lab but I still haven't gotten a call back. Has anyone received their sailors DVD and book yet?

I have a Sailor call came yesterday around 4ish...I've been ripping and running every since! We are on the road headed to Great Lakes with a couple of more hours to drive! But I couldn't go another day without thanking each of the moms on this site that helped me get through each day. It was your encouraging words and frequent updates that kept me sane many of days. It was your understanding that let me know I wasn't sharing this experience alone. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to meet each other. Until then, congratulations to all of you!

Good Morning! Safe travel today, enjoy Sarge's MeetandGreet tonight, and be early to PIR tomorrow for good seating choices!
PIR HINT:
For those driving, stay to the left on Buckley, car line to RTC on your right. Bypass RTC, turn around at the train station right past it, approach RTC from the opposite direction, easy left turn onto RTC! Enjoy!
