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."

Your recruits are not able to call every weekend. :( There are over 6000 recruits at RTC at any given time, and I found an interesting tidbit about that.
If every recruit was given a phone call based on time allotted for phone calls during the week, number of phones, and number of recruits, each phone call would be .81 seconds. LOL Definitely not enough time.

Has anyone looked at the random Recruit pix on RTC? Wondering if anyone saw their Recruit. I did not.
And I enlarged and used a magnifying glass. Ha!

Got another call from my son yesterday evening (DIV 230). He sounded great and very upbeat. Said that everybody in his division passed their first written test and it sounds like that are starting to work together better.
One month from today and most of us will be getting on a plane (some will be driving) heading to Chicago. The countdown has begun.

My son was in division 230. He is being sent home on a medical discharge. Just wanted to wish all those moms and sailors a very happy PIR....
Congrats and good luck to you all.... -

Good luck to your son Brendap! Hopefully, his injury can be quickly healed and he can give it another shot later!

Hello--My son is 230 going into GM at GL. So far sounds like no night liberty--just day pass after PIR. So hard to plan, when I am OCD on planning. I won't let that stop me, I will have 2 plans and go with the one that works. :)
