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."

She said they are doing well they don't get "beat" a whole lot only if someone is not listening or talking while in ranks. She said there are a few girls in other division that won't shut up while in ranks and they've gotten in trouble had to pull some kind of duty not sure of the initials still don't know the lingo yet. She's said the first week was rough she felt out of place and was very homesick but is now settling in and feeling more comfortable so i'm sure yourdaughter is too. Ill have ask kathleen in her next letter if she knows your daughter maybe they are friends! So are you the only one coming? If your daughter did not use the 3 invites I would be forever in your debt if she is willing to pass them on. Being in Michigan and only five hours away we have a lot of people who are coming to see her but can't get into graduation. I have six children so some can't go. She said they were able to write their first letters on sun so expect one this week. She said she only had 5 minutes to write though so it will be short. They can only write on Sunday so only expect one per week. She has already received all our letters and cards so I'm sure your daughter had too! I hope this eases your mind a little I know it did mine!

I'm very sorry but it is against RTC policy for one Recruit to add their guests to another Recruits Access List. This was posted on the RTC FB page some time back in response to someone mentioning it.
"U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command Ma'am, while this is something that some recruits may have chosen to do, they are instructed not to do so. It is against RTC policy, and compromises safety procedures that we have put in place. If we are able to determine that guests do not belong to the recruit they are placed under, they will not be allowed access to PIR. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the Navy's only boot camp! "
So sorry, I hope it works out, its rough. -

Melanie, I haven't received a letter yet, but when I talked to my daughter on Christmas Eve she said she was able to write on Sunday, so I'm hoping for one soon. We are in Michigan so maybe today! I'm so glad you received yours it is a happy day! I can't wait!

Hello Melanie, it looks to me that your hubby and mine are chatting on navy dads.

What a coincidence- Megan's dad & I are divorced, but I told him about the site. He'll be attending the PIR at the Navy Lodge, the same as me - (separate rooms)
