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."

My daughter is in DIV 072. I am glad to hear you got a chance to speak with your daughter on Christmas. I spoke with my daughter on Sunday before Christmas and was excited just to hear her voice and know she is well.

Just got a call from my SR in Div 072. Today is 2-5. He is assistant EPO and in the secondary quarters. The EPO is a female and in the primary quarters. He said all the SRs around him are receiving mail. He might miss PIR because of medical. That would be a shame, but he doesn't know for sure. He says being in a push div is really great and awful at the same time. He can't wait to leave. The RDC's are pretty cool because the SRs are allowed up to 12 minute showers!

MrsZ my daughter is ship 3 Div 071. I did not know there were only 2 girls in that Div. My daughter talks about all of the girls they bunk with. She has made a couple of fiends already. What school is your daughter going to after boot camp?

Hey everyone, if you haven't already, check out the RTC Great Lakes Facebook page. Every Tuesday, they have a trivia challenge and whoever wins gets to request a picture of their SR's Division and it will be posted on that Facebook page! I'm hoping either I or someone else from DIv 72 gets the right answer so we can see a picture of our SRs! Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand
