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."

they should have sent it to you as it should read - SR Doe, John
Naval Recruit Training Command (or you can put NRTC)
Ship 07 Div 245
Street name
Great Lakes, IL .......
My daughter typed up the address and we put it on labels so we wouldn't have to rewrite it over and over. It worked great and we wrote every day pretty much without fail until we flew to Il ourselves. Write often - it means more to them than you know and it takes a while to hear back so don't get discouraged - when you get a letter you will get about a weeks worth at a time!
