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."

This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

sailorsgirl4ever.....My box came separate from the form letter. I got my box last Friday and I got my letter yesterday. I probably get my stuff a little faster than most of you because I live 25 miles from GL.

sailorsgirl4ever: Looks like 804 is in this group, but you will need to wait until it is confirmed on the RTC graduation schedule. Maybe they'll add 2/11's PIR date next week.

I was just sure I would get the letter today confirming the PIR date - but it didn't come! Guess I'll keep waiting for the mailman! Anyone else in Ship 11 Div 064?

Hello Ladies! I too was waiting for the letter from my daughter. I got it today. PIR is Feb 11, 2010.
She said things are going good so far. She is the RCPO of her Div. She said she does make a lot of people mad (not her exact words), but it's still a good time. She said her Div. is pretty okay, and that she will fill me in more later. and of course, I love you!
Words from Heaven!! So, that precious letter can arrive any day now for those of you who are waiting by the mailbox. Keep your chin(s) up!
FYI- my daughter arrived at RTC on December 7.

Maybe Jessica or one of the other more seasons moms can help us here with weather or not we can still expect changes.
