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."

Good Morning - per the RTC website, Division 394 has a 10/15/2020 PIR date.

Here's the link:

RTC Grad Dates

HELP!!! Is it possible that my recruit made a mistake? His form letter states a graduation date of 24 OCT 20 and the RTC Graduation Dates for his division (394) states 10/15. From one mom to another who should I trust, or what should I plan for, even though graduation and liberty are suspended? :-)

It's weird that he would give you a 10/24 date since that's a Saturday. Normally PIR's are on Friday's but since this whole pandemic hit they've changed them to Thursday's - which is what the RTC website shows for his division.

I would just ask him in your next letter or if you are lucky enough to get a call you can confirm then.

MaterNauta - Don't panic!! Like B'sNukeMom said we go with what is on the RTC website and then they could have told them something different that was changed with your recuit and not changed online. So be prepared for both dates! I will trying to connect with you again later.

MaterNauta,

Yes don't panic. And when you do hear from him ask him again just to make sure. As B'sNukeMoM MMN said follow what the RTC website says. :)
