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."

He should have it by tomorrow.He called Wed with address to mail. He said he likes his dorm room and has roomies with 1 month experience already.Maybe they will fill him in.

@Oldestof4: I'm so glad for your son's being able to get back into the swing. :D But I can't say I'm a big fan of the terminology . . . "recycled?" BLECH!! Doesn't sound very loud and proud to me!! I want a new term! How about . . . ummm . . . REGENERATED . . . or REBOOTED . . . or maybe even REESTABLISHED?
Muuuuch better. ;)
