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."

Thats my kid! I didn't recognize him with the BC glasses on at first. I don't know if it's OPSEC to say which picture he features in but to this momma's eyes he look good despite the ugly glasses.
If my information is correct they had a very important inspection today. Something about putting on the dressblue uniform (with it's 13 buttons), taking it off and folding it properly all in 20 minutes. I bet they did great! Keep a good thought.
This is my copy-n-paste what I wrote in RTC's FB forums.
"I got letter today, he they were the only performing DIV on the 29th that was not graduating, he said they were all bummed cause the rest were going on liberty....but he did say that when they were leaving to go back to the barracks all the civilians were yelling at them saying "It's almost over!" He wrote that they were all very proud to finally get recognized for their hard work."
Phone call was a nice surprise last night! Tripletmom accept my friend request so I can give you an a approximate date on BS's.
Suprise phone call last night was great! The 908 4.9'd the uniform inspection and 5.0'd the PFA. The honor guard will be performing at grad this Friday as well, so watch for the FB pics! Does anyone else have a SR going into the Electronics FC A School--trying to figure out how much time we may have for liberty after graduation?
My SR is FC but he has not received word on his liberty. He said they will know more next week after BS.
He did say to get to PIR early. There were over 4,000 guests at last weeks graduation. He said that if we want we can go to see them before graduation. He said 1 hour before graduation they are all in a room. He said the room is at the opposite end of the hall from where you enter the building on the second floor.
I asked the Moms from DIV 907 to take lots of pictures of ours performing tomorrow...let hope they do. lol.
My SR will be staying at GL for A school for AECF. They need to move across the base and there is an orientation that goes with that, about 4 hours, I'm told. Don't know what day that will be. Your sailor (notice, not SR anymore!) will have to call you when they're free.
It happens right after PIR, ....moving across base. Don't forget to check RTC's FB page today for pics of DIV 908 recruits!
Would you mind posting a link again like you did last time? Otherwise I'm not sure how to get there.
