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."

Yes, i got his PIR letter then September 28th I received a formal 3 page letter. He said the group is full of a lot of young guys, but that they will eventually get closer. He said he's made some friends and exchanged numbers, but didn't say any names. He also said that they will be calling home soon.

can anyone tell me if the "generic" letter from the RTC was filled-in by the recruits themselves?

some of it was. and i heard that some srs wrote a few lines on the back or something, and my bff did that for his mom when he was in boot camp, but my husband didn't do that. he was probably scared he would get in trouble.

The recruits fill in the few spots on the form letter. It was so wonderful to see my son's handwriting. It's funny the little things that make your heart go thump!

Hi, My son is in Div. 361. I recieved his form letter earlier this week. I can't wait to hear from him. He will be going to Culinary Specialist A-School. I read somewhere that it is now at Ft. Lee in VA. Does anyone know if that is correct? My son's recruiter had told him it was at Great Lakes. I'm very excited to be on here and to hear from other parents. This has been the longest 2 weeks!!!
