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."

Congrats! Yes, RPOC is correct. The correct term is Recruit Chief Petty Officer (RCPO)...but you can't say "RCOP". :-) So RPOC is easier.
The RCPO is the primary recruit assistant to RDCs and is responsible for:
- Maintaining good order, discipline, and security within the division at all times.
- Ensuring compliance with standing orders and regulations.
- Assisting RDCs with implementation of schedules.
- Reporting any abnormal condition to RDCs, including violations of good order, discipline and security, when RDCs are not present.
Also the Mail RPO:
Recruit Mail Petty Officers (MPO) (RP03)
The MPO is responsible for pick-up and delivery of all mail. Designation as MPO includes special qualifications at mail orderly orientation and custody of a mail orderly card.

The rtc just posted on their Facebook page. Based on the location my phone gave me when my boyfriend called there might be pics of div 054 on there. I already looked through and didn't see him but you may have some luck!
