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."

We received our form letter, telling us about the graduation. It says to download the parking pass from the rtc website, but I cannot find the link anywhere! He even handwrote the password I will need to download this parking pass. Has anyone else found the link? Or did they get their parking passes in with the information?

hm - this has changed since I went to Great Lakes. Sorry, I can't help!!
we are in division 271. It states on the rtc website that he will graduate on Aug 7th. Thank you so much for helping me with this. Also, when you do you suggest we reserve a hotel? I called one last night, but the reservation desk said not to call until July for an August date. I never heard of this before, but thought it might be the way it is done there.
I made my reserrvation online tonight. I found that most hotels AAA rates were cheaper than the Naval Graduation Rates.
Thanks Sue. I have been trying to get to the link that was in the form letter as well. I'm not sure what happened, but it is not correct. The link they sent us was http://wwwl.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/index.asp. Nothing came up. My son is scheduled for PIR on Aug 7th as well. He is Ship 13 Div 270.

I was able to book hotels on Sunday. I had a few of them going, and they were all availabe. They were all of the Marriott chains...Courtyard, Residence and Fairfield.
Thank you...so that entire link is not operational at all until the 27th?
Hi Joann, I am having the same problem. I have not been able to figure it out either.
It looks like we have to wait until 7-27 to be able to open the link for the parking passes
I am still looking for it too. Did you ever find out where to go to? We have the password but just cannot find the site
