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."

HOLIDAY LEAVE AFTER PIR GRADUATION
I know we are all overjoyed about our sailors coming home after PIR so let's get all of our questions answered here.
Ma'am,
Recruits graduating Dec. 17 & 22 will be granted leave and will be able to travel home. Those graduating Dec. 17 will have their leave expire on Dec. 28. Recruits graduating Dec. 22 will be granted leave that will expire Jan. 2. Recruits are responsible for paying their own way from RTC to their home and then pay for their way from home to their next command for A School. Once they are at their next command, they may request to be reimbursed for part of the travel costs.
Respectfully,
Recruit Training command
Public Affairs Office
USS Yorktown (Bldg 7330)
Great Lakes, IL 60088
Office - (847)688-2405
Traveling home the Sailors will be required to wear their uniforms because they have not phased in at A School. A letter will be given letting them know what is allowed and not allowed while on Leave. They cannot drive a car or consume alcoholic beverages while on Leave.
Our Sailors will not be allowed to bring their cars to A School.
This is a work in progress and I will try to answer questions as they become available to me.
Have a good day. Kathy

I have sent the information to the scheduling office email address and have not yet received a confirmation they have received it. Do they confirm they have received it through email?

donnaq,
There was a post from RTC on their Facebook page that asked everyone to have patience because they are processing over 1500 requests. I think they have only been contacting people, right now, if there was a problem.
A lot of people have not received confirmation, but I wouldn't worry.

Wendi - That sounds like a great plan. They said they will let you know if there is a problem. I'm sure the people who work in the scheduling office cringed when they heard about the Holiday Stand Down! Susan
