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."

RTC GREAT LAKES SHIP14 DIV257 "Im a sailor" CALL!!

Hey Guys,

My boyfriend is in RTC GREAT LAKES, he shipped off to bootcamp on June 8,2015 and is set to graduate next Friday July 31,2015. I'm concerned because I haven't received a call from him in 2 weeks. I haven't even received the "I'm a sailor" call. I received his letters this past Friday and in his letters he says that they are trying to hold him back a week. His mom met with his recruiter this week and his recruiter said not to worry. "RDC's tell recruites that to scare them"
I was just wondering if anyone else has received the "I'm a sailor" call from they're SR in DIV257. I'm starting to get worried.

No, since Division 257 is one of the last divisions in that TG, the "I'm a Sailor!" call will come this week. See Battle Stations-21 (BST).

Comment by lemonelephant on July 26, 2015 at 10:34pm: If your recruit's mom has not gotten a call saying that he has been ASMO'd (moved from his current division), then he is on track to have PIR on time.

Comment by KellsR3714 on July 26, 2015 at 11:34pm: Ok Thanks so much. & my recruits mom wouldn't be receiving that call it would be me. My number is his main contact & I haven't received any call so that's a GREAT thing!! Thanks for all the info though . I just can't wait to see my SR❤️
