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."

Hi there how are you doing? My wife said that Matt's box came yesterday. It looked like he was in a hurry when he packed it. the pants were inside out, and every thing was just thrown in. We don't have a ship number yet, hopefully in a few days. There was a picture on Facebook that we were sure was our son Matt, carrying a flag in a group of recruits..
Have you seen the Navy Recruit Training Command Facebook page?
Well best of luck, we are keeping everyone in our prayers. Talk to you soon. Rick (mom&dad4Mattj) -

No way!! How exciting :) I never received a box so I dont think my husband decided to send back his clothes. I hope we get a ship number soon, I have this fear that Im not going to get any letter from him and im going to just be stuck all by myself... silly I know but thats just me I suppose!
I have not seen the nacy recruit training command facebook page but im going to look it up now. Thank you for sharing :)
I hope you guys have a good night and you are also in our prayers.

The first weekend without our recruits:(. It seems like it has been such a long day. I keep checking the Facebook page to see if any more random pictures have been posted...hoping for a glimpse of my son. All the clothes that came home in the box have been washed and put away. I wonder if they will still fit after boot camp!

Yes, that was us. It's been a weird week for us. I'm off on a yearly fishing trip, and Julie is home with Kevin our 15 year old. He is all wrapped up with baseball, so that has kept her busy. She did manage to clean his bathroom yesterday, otherwise she won't spend any time in his room... Will just take time.. . Oh well, time to start packing up our camp to head home. Hope you have a good week! Hang in there.
