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."

Just booked my trip for PIR!! So dang excited! SO hoping for a letter soon. I just wanted to call and tell her this morning, but I couldn't. Guess I'll put the details in the next letter. We got a great deal through Travelocity. I bought the Trip Insurance, just in case. Have a great day all!

Hey all! I don't know if you seen my post on RTC's facebook page, but they took the time to reply to me! She said our DIV did NOT start training until the 17th & that they didn't get to write til this past Sunday, so to possibly expect a letter sometime this week! Yay! That's great news! :-) None for me yet, but hoping that we'll all receive mail soon! <3

Feeling super down this morning. Missed a call yesterday afternoon. :-( Was in tears. Dumb. Three weeks and still no letter. Not to anyone in our family. I keep telling myself that she is ok, that this is normal, that she is doing what she wants. But, I raised my kids to be communicative. This is worse than when they went off to college! I "know in my head" that everything's alright, but "in my heart" I am worried sick. Silly mom. Thanks for the vent. :-/

Oh Kryssie, I'm so sad for you! :-( Are you sure it was her though? I've heard that it pops up at Unknown or possibly an 800 #, but so do telemarketers! Keep your spirits up. We all feel the same!! :-/ It'll be soon, I feel it! No letter for me today either! ;-/ I wish they could call soon!.. something....

The area code for RTC is "847"...when I got a call for security clearance info it was "US GOVERNMENT". Have also heard of some seeing "PAY PHONE".

it seems like our division is the only one not receiving letters. Hope they still PIR on time

I'm sure they're just busy considering they're performers so therefore they have to learn more! No worries, if their PIR date was pushed back, we'd definitely be getting a call letting us know! Like they say, "No news is good news". Keep your spirits up ladies! :-)

your right lena - its just so frustrating knowing the other two performance groups got letters - I am so happy for them but wish I had one too. In time In time... Patience - lol

Whole Divisions usually do not get pushed back (I have been on here 10 months and never seen it). Asmo - Assignment Memorandum...is usually done on an individual basis. This is becuase of: injury, academically, failing repeated inspections, other reasons.
The only way you would have a different date for a whole DIV...is if RTC posted it incorrectly. They updated the site today for the two newest TG and that there would be NO PIR on March 23rd...your TG is still the same. :-)
So rest assured...! I pray you get mail soon!
