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."

Click on the link above and join that group ASAP. You'll meet other members with recruits who left for BC about the same time. These are the members you'll become great friends with. There is a group of veteran moms/dads too who will help you get adjusted.
On your personal page. YES, you each have on. Check it out. Click on MY PAGE tab on the above menu bar. You'll find messages from other members, summary of the groups you belong to, the discussions you have posted in (like this one). You can add music to your personal page, change the appearance (warning don't use white font if your background is light).
Lastly, there is quite a bit of info in our Survival Guide (it's in a welcoming message on your page). Here is the link for your convenience. LOTS of good information. The most important is the link to the Recruit Training Command - this the the official Navy site - the information contained on this site is what you should go by.
