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."

If you have not received The Form Letter on Wednesday (2 weeks after he arrived), then yes, call the recruiter and get the address and double-check the info against that at http://bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.asp or Ship/Division--How it Works.

Came home from a long day at work to find my sons form letter and his personal items box waiting for us. Made me smile. Went through his things carefully for any signs of how he spent his last few hours as a civilian. Found some sketches he did on the long bus ride to boot camp. I will cherish these and look at them from time to time. Just seeing his hand writing on the letter made me feel better. I plan to write another letter tonight to let him know his items arrived safely. I'm sure he will wonder about his cell phone lol.
