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."

There is no set time when they get calls...people say they get a call on 2-5 day..that is NOT true! The calls can be anytime...also the days of training do not start on Mondays...they can start mon-friday...so unless you got a letter from your recruit about what day of training they are on...you don't know what day they are on. Also not all divisions in the same PIR are on the same day of training

Hey, My boyfriend is Graduating the same day! And he hasn't called either. Boo. But he writes letters. I got the second letter yesterday. He is having a hard time. Have you heard anything from your boyfriend? How is he doing?

I am so happy to see you write this. Because my Boyfriends letter have been very hard to read. He seems miserable. I am glad to see that this is normal. And I am now hopeful that he will soon feel better. Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes, You have helped me so much! I have been worrying more and more about him the more letters I get. This is going to be the begining of his fourth week. And I am not going to keep positive if it is negative. LoL. There is a light at the end of the tunnel thanks to you. :-) Thank you so much. I will make sure to be very supportive and upbeat and let him know things will get better.
