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."

Contact the RTC Public Affairs Office at 847-688-2405 or via e-mail at rtc.pao@navy.mil and find out what division your recruit is in. Let them know that your recruit was ASMO'd to the 10/13/2017 TG from the 10/06/2017 TG, but that you have not gotten a letter with his new address. I suggest that you send an email so that you have a copy of the info.

Make at least change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) and change the Privacy Settings for this page from "Anyone" to "Members." There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Since your recruit has a contract for Operations Specialist (OS), join OS MOMS. You will also want to join Great Lakes A School Q&A and GL A-school moms. You can also check out the Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes Facebook Page.

The Rating Information Card for OS can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/os.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)

You will be able to enjoy extra time with your Sailor following PIR. Plan to leave late Sunday or on Monday if you are able to do that. (See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend.)

Divisions 311 and 312 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.
