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 boyfriend left the exact same day from Atlanta, Ga to Chicago, IL. On August 15th too, this first week seemed really long, but it's nice to know that yours left the same day too, we could keep in contact and experience the same things together. Are you going to graduation, what's your sailors name?

Hey LuvyLovesChris12, you'll receive the letter for sure! I know it's hard to wait, but you can also try to call his recruiter! Probably they have his address...so you can start sending letters!
My husband called when he arrived in Chicago, on the 15th... and it was a super fast call!
And on the 18th after he went to NEX, it was a surprise, early in the morning, but made me soooo happy!This one was a 10 min. call!
After that, i got his box of clothes on the 21st, and yesterday I got the first letter. (form letter)
So keep it up!!! Let's keep in touch!

That was so fast and I live in California too!! I don't know what number to expect calling me, but every number that does call me I answer it just in case. His mom got the box on 22nd its just really frustrating because I'm waiting for an important answer or thoughts at least. Hopefully its in today
