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 Blessedsailorsmom, not sure where to find out but my daughter arrived 11/10 & her boyfriend received the form letter and PIR is 1/14/2011. They should be updating the RTC site with dates but I'm not sure 1/14 will show up n the list for awhile. The PIR dates have been on Fridays except for when there is a holiday. I'm a newbie aS well but that is what I have seen. Here is the link:

Thanks so much for the support and encouragement! I'll put in a prayer request on the prayer wall...never hurts to have her covered in prayer! That is if you believe in prayer. Thanks again...so glad I found this site.

No, I don't think the PAO needs to be involved. They have very tight security with the recruits there. As you mentioned, different ships, etc. Not much chance they will see each other.

Yes Dianne that's what everyone seems to think...I don't think we need to get Public Affairs office involved...do you? Being she is 2wks ahead of him and willl be in a different ship, division etc.

Oh, ok, navyfam. Yes, I agree with the other ladies. It is a HUGE no no to communicate with the opposite sex. And I doubt he will ever be in the same place that she is. He will be so distracted by bc work, he won't have time for much stalking...and if he tries it, I bet he will be on his way home pretty quickly
