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."

Good morning everyone, If anyone has an SR who will be an EOD there is a special coming on The Discovery Channel tonight at 10pm eastern time called Surviving The Cut, Navy EOD...... I haven't seen this one, I don't know it may be too hard for some to watch but I am sure you will learn a lot about what an EOD does or goes through during training.

dollars?

Your insurance card that you carry with you. You will need that for your rental car anyway - we just had the card and the papers for checking him back into the gate in the evening and the Parking Pass and photo ID of everyone in the car with you.
Yes there will be Sailors holding up a sign with your Div 329 and you will sit in the bleachers right in front.

I have some questions: Is the insurance card (the proof you keep in your glove box in case of accident) proof of insurance to enter the RTC gates or do I need the print out from the insurance company. I will be coming on base with a rental. And will we be seated in front of where our divisions will be standing or just seated anywhere(do I need to try to find the division and look for a seat there).

Remember, ladies....if you get calls this week or weekend, be sure to ask about BStations dates to confirm what LTLY has up top and to add the missing ones. They should be starting next Thursday. I have a feeling that is when 323 and 324 will be going, but we need you all to confirm this with your recruits. They for sure will go together.
