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."

Hi there,
The livestream is at http://www.livestream.com/usnavyrtc and starts at 08:45 Central Time. They have been having problems again. Last week's graduation they had a delay and the sound kept going in and out. Please remember they want it to be up for you just as much as you do. Please have patience when/if this happens :)

Same here. She said her group got freaked out by the Instructor during Battle Stations. They were told they did really bad and that they just killed someone. They were told to think what if that was a love one. The Instructor then proceeded to tell them they were getting ASMO'd up to three weeks. She said they all started bawling like babies. Then the Instructor came back and told them she was just fooling.....LOL. They had one of the best scores for BS! She really did sound wiped out though. Hopefully, they get some sleep tonight and tomorrow. Hope to see everyone at Graduation!
