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."

Merry Christmas, Everyone !!!!

 
For those of you that are one Facebook !!  This was posted a few a hours ago from Navy Recruit Training Command.  They have a facebook page !!!   This is so awesome !!!!
 
Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us at RTC!

Today, some of you will be seeing your recruit for the day during the Adopt-A-Sailor program. Others of you will be hearing from your recruits that get adopted by organizations who make it possible for them to use phones and computers. Others might see their recruits online via various media news that visit the organizations and of which we will post as they become available. Yes, the Public Affairs Office is working this morning to make this all possible.

Still yet, others might receive a phone call if your recruit's division is scheduled for a time slot at the phone center.

But wait! There's more! As our Christmas gift to our Facebook friends, Sue will be running around and taking some random photos of the recruits in their compartments and post them here. Mind you, I cannot photograph all of them, but I will do my best to get many.

Hi Hope !  Received no call today but found out 067 is not working together real well, so that why no call.  Hope you had a great day also !

They will pull it together.Things are tough at the beginning, but they end up really bonding and learning to work together. I have an older son who went through Navy boot camp last year, and my husband is Air Force and went through basic a LONG time ago. Both look back on it fondly. They meet people who are going to be lifelong friends and learn they are capable of a lot more than they thought!
