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."

SHIP 04, DIV 820 and DIV 821 Brother divisions....
This discussion is for those who have an SR in Ship 04, DIV 820 and 821, PIR 10/14/11. These are brother divisions and will be spending a lot of time together from what I understand. Remember OPSEC rules and for security purposes...no pictures of your SR or names of SR. God bless you all!

Hello everyone. I don't believe I have posted any comments in this group, but I have been following your post. My son son is in DIV 820. I would like to know if anyone has received any email from their SR from schramm studio?

That's just weird. It came from his email this morning. Thanks. Just thought I should ask.

Probably a spam email... ask his friends or other relatives if they received anything and if so for them not to reply to any links etc. Weird.

Hi MelGal24, I was wondering if we take them across the street or just pick them up after they are checked in? Thanks. Did your sr seem dismayed after boot camp by how long a road it is? Just wondered since boot camp is probably a big reality check for all of them. Thanks again!

I was thinking my son said they will leave Pre Bud/s then go to SD and start PTRR, after that assessment then start actual phase I of Bud/s. If you son has been out of bootcamp for one year and still at the PTRR phase, I bet he is not happy. That is a long time to wait. I hope he gets to proceed soon and the fractures are all healed. Good luck to him!! Thanks for your information!

In case any of you do not follow the Facebook page for RTC. A sister of an SR from 04/820 won the contest today- so RTC will be posting a pic of that division Thursday on their Facebook page. Congrats and enjoy! :)
It is US Navy Recruit Training Command.
