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 a gentle reminder (in general...not aimed at the post-er, but because the subject came up :-))
The Form Letter that you receive from your SR (Seaman Recruit) contains a Password that allows you to obtain your Vehicle Gate Pass 11 days prior to PIR from the RTC Website (Upcoming Graduation page). This password is confidential and may not be passed along casually. Form Letters with the information from your SR should not be scanned and passed along either. (We have an exemplar on this site with the personal info whited out).
Form Letters are sent out by the Recruit and they choose whom to send it too. They fill out the pertinent info including the intended guest list. 7-10 days before PIR they update their intended guest list and turn it into Security for PIR. Security makes their master guest list from this. The Form Letter is just for you to know who your SR wishes to invite. If you need to make changes please communicate with your SR. Once the Final list is turned in it cannot be changed. The Form Letter is not your entry to PIR nor are there any tickets...just your name on the Security list.
Marika - Was your husband supposed to send the Form letter to you or is it possible that he sent it to another Family Member?

I got a letter from my SR yesterday. He had one wisdom tooth taken out on 3-25. He said that there were 22 guys from his division who were in SIQ (sick in quarters) because of wisdom teeth being taken out.
