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! I always surf the RTC website, trying to gain information to share. I too have noticed that they leave a few N4Ms comments here and there. Maybe so we always come back. Idk

Good morning all. Just want to remind everyone to RSVP for the Meet & Greet at Anastasia's, as I have to turn in a head count this week. Please help direct newer members to the event, so everyone is aware of it.
Also the Ramada Meet & Greet is only 6 minutes away from Anastasia's. I have seen some questions asking if both can be attended - absolutely! The Ramada is from 6-8pm and I have changed the one at Anastasia's to be from 7-10pm, so everyone has the option and time to stop by both events and meet everyone.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe and warm.

LOL i did the same thing but yesterday I was looking for others with the same PIR to FB them so i could share our site with them,, I ran across a few comments that had N4M in it and they had not deleted it yet so maybe a few sneak in there, LOL LOL
Well the weekend is upon us and that means in a few days our recruits will be writing us again and we will have new week of letters (and hopefully calls for those waiting)!!!! Not to many times I want a weekend to hurry up and go away!!! LOL LOL

tackijacky, that is really odd, since, the last time I checked, the Navy pays the bill for this website.
