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."

i will definatly do that, my son was brought up in a semi-religous home where he know how important it is to us and he took pride in himself with his grandparents, but I think that he has lost some of that, with a catholic girl friend. Just wondering if maybe the Rabbi would look for him, if he knew he was there.

Could you mention him to your son in your next letter?

Is there anyway to get him to seek out my son?

Lt. Kleinman was a 'saving grace' to my SR the past few of weeks at bc...When he told Rabbi that we speak highly of him here on our site, he was quite surprised and humbled. I'm so thankful for this man. With my SR going to services and counseling, he re-committed himself to G-d and Judaism. That inner strength has gotten him on track at bc and he's confident that he will graduate and begin his Navy career. Thanks to all of you here for your advice and Rabbi's name. I cannot wait to meet him.
