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."

Adopt-A-Sailor Program!! READ ASAP!!
Thanksgiving Adopt-A-Sailor program Nov. 24, 2011
Each year, RTC coordinates the Thanksgiving Adopt-A-Sailor program for a select group of recruits. This year's program on Nov. 24, 2011 is for those recruits who will graduate Dec. 2 and Dec. 16 (Training Group 3 and 5) as they are the senior divisions who will graduate the week and two weeks following the holiday.
These recruits will be given the opportunity to send home information and the necessary form that must be completed and faxed back to the Public Affairs Office. Only your recruit may send the information and only one form per recruit will permitted. Do not call our office for a form or additional forms; you will need to contact your recruit to request the information if you have not received any. All forms must be received by our office by the close of business Nov. 21, 2011.
Do not expect your recruit to be available for adoption if you do not communicate with our office prior to Nov. 21. Do not "surprise" your recruit by showing up to adopt him/her without informing your recruit beforehand.
On Thanksgiving morning, immediate family members only (mother, father, sister, brother, uncle, aunt, grandparent, spouse or cousin) will be allowed to pick up their recruits and take them off base to spend the day with them. They must be back in their ship (barracks) by 8 p.m. The recruits must remain within 50 miles of the base and no exceptions will be made.
Those recruits in Training Group 3 & 5 who will not be spending the day with families will be adopted by local civic organizations such as VFWs, American Legions, churches, etc. These generous organizations adopt anywhere from 10 to 150 recruits. They take the recruits to their organizations where the recruits spend the day feasting, playing video games, watching movies, having access to phones to call loved ones, play sports and simply relax and enjoy the company of the organizations. Many of these organizations hold fundraisers to be able to provide the recruits with a complete, traditional Thanksgiving meal. No recruit in Training Group 3 & 5 will be left behind.
