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."

They are doing some renovations at the RTC, so there have been a few divisions in each TG that have had to move to a new ship.

You may want to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members).

(If there are others who find this and don't know about the blue candle, go to Blue Candles within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones).)

This is a good place for your son to get strong, he will be OK. When he call just give words of encouragement. When they are young and have to leave home it's not easy, love them but them go. Keep the faith and keep praying.
