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."

I was getting my hair cut today, when the lady next to me screamed because her phone rang. It was her son in Army bootcamp! Of course she jumped up from the chair and took the call! I was so jealous, but so happy for her. We had a lot to talk about when she got off the phone!

I don't get one thing though. Lat week she said she can't march, because she can't get the rhythm. But in todays letter she said when she does march, shi is next to a short african american guy. She is Education yeoman/petty officer.

Willsmom- on the RTC page on facebook, they post a trivia question every Tuesday at 10 AM Chicago time. The first person to correctly answer (by adding a comment to the post) will get to have RTC take a picture of their SR's division. You have to be quick! The winners have been getting it within seconds!
