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."

When your loved one sent the form letter about graduation, he should have listed 4 people that are allowed to go. If you are on the list you are able to go as long as he successfully completes graduation.

Your name must be on the list the SR provides RTC.  He can only list four names.  The initial list would be on the form letter.  If he didn't have four names or if he wishes to change the names on the list he can still do it.  I think I read that they have to have the final list submitted by week six but I'm not positive on that.

I am not on the list. He gave priority to his mom and dad and his grandparents. I am going to see him after his liberty. I want to gooo so bad. I told him to make friends with people to see if anyone had any extra tickets.

Sorry that you can't go.  Have his parents and grandparents take lots of pictures and I am sure you'll find pictures here that the mom's will be posting. 

It is okay. I just want him happy. I will see him after.
I got a letter yesterday, and my son (his brother) got a letter today.  There is nothing like getting the mail and seeing a letter in there!  He said that his first mail call he got 14 letters!  He seems to be doing great, just hates that he is missing out on everything here.  His fiance received 12 letters and a phone call yesterday and it was her birthday...That was the ultimate gift ever for her!  July 22nd just can't get here soon enough.

Glad to hear he is doing well and I bet that made Lizzy's day! 

i only go one letter so far, but two phone calls! hope everyone is doing well, i have a hard time with all this info and keeping it straight

 

Anyone know anything about TRIVIA TUESDAY'S on the RTC site on Facebook?

I just got a facebook account today and I'm trying to learn to navigate it.  I read that if the loved ones of the SR's are the quickest to answer the question correctly they will take a picture of the whole division.  The question is posted at 10am and I figure that is GL time, but I don't know exactly were it is posted.  Anyone know?  I want that prize of a picture of our division next Tuesday!!!  Come on div 936 loved ones lets figure it out and try to win it!  To see the pictures of past winners go to the wall of pictures the last pictures are the winning divisions for the last three weeks.

The question is posted at exactly 10 am GL time, if you know the answer, type it in the comments box.  The answers come from bootcamp navy page, i dont know the address, but if you click on the RTC facebook info page it will give you the internet address.

Thanks Boosmom....will be studying the Bluejacket Manual   :-)

 

I am also on facebook, they are now posting random photos again on the RTC site.  I thought that my son said that div 936 is an all male division, is this correct?   I sometimes work on Tuesday, but try to be near the computer for the trivia questions!!!   you have to be quick and spelling counts.  The RTC site is very beneficial, lots of questions answered.
