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 everyone,
My son is Ship 02 DIV 908. Received my letter on the 15th. Waiting for a call and/or letter from him soon. He's MA and going to San Antonio for A school.
One little tid bit I want to share. When I took the garbage out last week, instead of the large can with 3 kitchen bags full, it was one little plastic bag!! It looked so sad. Now that goes to show you how much a 6'3" 18 year old can eat!!

Hello, - Where are you seeing the (unconfirmed) statement?
Could be related to the fact that this PIR and Training Group have not yet been posted on the official RTC website yet?

Lisa and John, what do you mean the official RTC website? The one on FB? I already joined so I will keep looking.
