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."

RTC just posted on Facebook that the gate usually used for entrance is closed for the next 8 weeks for construction. They posted directions to a different gate. Just thought I'd let you know. Go to their Facebook page U. S. Navy Recruit Training Command for a map. They say it may take longer for traffic.

Hope this helps.

For the next 8 weeks, the gate normally used by RTC staff on graduation mornings will be closed for construction. During this time, staff traffic will be rerouted to Gate 6 at Illinois Street for entry.

All graduation guests must enter Gate 8 on Ohio Street just as they always do for every graduation. There is no change in entry gates, only a change in the traffic route.

To minimize traffic backup during graduation check-ins for visitors on their way to Gate 8, visitor traffic will rerouted off of Buckley Road, as notated on the map. Visitors trying to enter Gate 6 will be denied entry and will be directed to Gate 8 via the detour.

Please allow yourself plenty of time to travel through the detour on the way to Gate 8. All guests must be in their seats by 8:45 a.m. as the doors to the ceremonial drill hall close promptly at 9 a.m. and late arriving guests will be denied entry.

I realize it's a different gate for staff and the same gate as always for guests. I realize I could have stated that differently however my point was traffic flow may be greater so that will take more time I would expect. Sorry for the confusion.
