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."

I found this from searching through the various group pages. I am pasting the full Q here so that I don't get the link wrong: Hope this helps. I thought I saw my son and was very excited, but then decided it was not. Hope you see your SR in some of the pics!!
Are there any official RTC sites?
Yes, check out https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/index.asp. They will have lots of information for you. https://www.facebook.com/NavalServiceTraining also has items at times.
The RTC will stream PIR live at http://www.livestream.com/usnavyrtc beginning at 8:45 CST for those who are unable to attend in person.
