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."

The first real letter comes between week three and four. Phone calls only are allowed when they earn them. If they have a nice RDC you might hear from them twice before graduation. In our case we didn't hear from him until his division passed the final exam and we were already in Chicago for gradation the next day. This will be the longest 8 weeks of your life. It's hard, but we all make it through some how and then when they go to A school they can call daily if they want. Any time you have questions, just ask!!

Hi okielady, yes it is possible that he could be moved into the 900 division. Do not worry that he hasn't been receiving your letters, I'm sure he has. Even if they change his division they will find him and get his mail to him. You must remember that he can only write on Sundays, so you will not hear from him until midweek. When is his graduation? Hang in there!!

My son plays the trumpet, but he didn't in bootcamp. He just wanted to lay low and get through it. My grand niece is excited about corresponding with your daughter. I told her mom she needs to wait until November.

Kathy, you are too funny...have you seen her drive LOL. Do many change to MU or start out as MU before boot?

I'm trying to get her mom to join N4M, so hopefully she will. Do you know if while it boot camp they can change an MU's contract to something else?
E4 that's great. I'm sure she will do great!!! Kathy, you have been awesome, thank you soooooooo much.

Would your daughter be willing to correspond with my great niece? I think it would be good for her.

Wow, so they will live on a ship for a while. Sounds like they keep them busy. Where beside Japan are the bands stationed?
