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."

sapphirestone909 - They do not need any linens. Everything they need for daily living is provided except for hygiene items. I would ask him what he would like to have and when he can have it. They mostly ask for socks, undershorts, a set of civies for when they can wear them (after they phase up), their cell and computer. They really don't have room for much if they have to travel to A school. In that case, it's better to wait until he arrives and gives you the address to mail the stuff. If he is flying out, he can't have anything until he reaches the airport and most only want their cell and laptop. If he is staying in GL, he can have the items the day after PIR.
