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."

May 5th Ship out families
Is there anyone out there who has heard from their sailor? I know the call will come later this evening, but I know some sailors are texting on the bus. Mine just sent me a short message. No response. Don't know if he is on the bus or still at the airport. Just wondered what everyone else is hearing.

Some divisions form upon arrival and send the form letter soon after sending "the box" but most of the divisions will not send the form letter until finishing P-days. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.

Some of you with loved ones who shipped on this day will have recruits in an 800 division. Please remember OPSEC and PERSEC and DON'T post the division number if your recruit is in an 800 division. See 800 and 900 Divisions for other things you will want to know.
If you do have a recruit in an 800 division. Friend me and let me know and I can connect you with others with loved ones in the same division.

I got my box on Friday, then received the letter yesterday. So, maybe yours is coming today! Did you look at the pictures on the Navy RTC Facebook page? They posted pictures for mothers day, you should look through them to see if you see your child's picture there. I found my baby girl!! Yesterday was a much better day - seeing her and then getting her letter!!

So glad you were able to see your daughter! I found my son in one of the photos and even though it was a distance shot my eyes zeroed in on him immediately. I'm still amazed at how much better I felt just seeing that photo.

Yes, it was the best feeling I've had since she left!! Then I got the letter, so made it even better. I slept really well last night!

I didn't get my letter. It is so hard reading all these loved one's be excited about having letters. My husband is my best friend. It's hard not having him around or talking to him. I just feel like I am delayed. And knowing my mail doesn't usually show up on Wednesday or Thursday means I will have to wait even longer.
