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."

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 12, 2011 at 6:51pm: Okay...I have IE and the Link that I have had stored in my favorites still works on my computer.

Here is the link: (this link takes you to the Upcoming Grads page)

http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/upcoming_grads.asp

When I google it on my phone I get the www.bootcamp.navy.mil/ thing that takes you to the page that says "No service matched the request."

Comment by Sam's_Mom on July 12, 2011 at 5:03pm: the address for the website changed to https://bootcamp.navy.mil They added an "s" after the http and they reccomend using mozilla firefox.

Comment by Brenda72 on July 12, 2011 at 4:45pm: lol...you are probably right.

Comment by emextx 09/280 on July 12, 2011 at 4:20pm: Thank you diannep-veteran!! I installed the Firefox then I added the s to the http and THEN I was able to get on the site!

Comment by diannep on July 12, 2011 at 4:03pm: Just tried that, Brenda. Didn't work. I have a feeling those advising on RTC FB are not IT people! :-)

Comment by Brenda72 on July 12, 2011 at 3:50pm: If you use just the www. and not the http you should be able to get on...anyway that is what I read on the facebook page.

Comment by diannep on July 12, 2011 at 3:49pm: Yes, Sharon...someone posted that they can "fix it" where Explorer can access it.

I hope!

Comment by diannep on July 12, 2011 at 3:48pm: MeetNGreet is 6-8 pm Thurs, Ramada Inn Waukegan, 200 N. Green Bay Rd.

Comment by diannep on July 12, 2011 at 3:46pm: Sharon: Those of us with Explorer can't get on it...even with adding the "s" to the website. Hoping they correct this!

Comment by diannep on July 12, 2011 at 3:45pm: emextx: They just changed the website. I can't get on yet either. I use Internet Explorer as my browser and it won't allow access. Downloading Firefox supposedly allows it. I'm waiting to see if they correct this where IE can access the site.

Here is the website to download mozilla firefox if you want (free download):

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/

Hopefully you can then access the RTC website.
