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."

Thanks, everyone! My son is a SNA so he will be going back to his residence where he lived prior to beginning OCS, for 3 months doing OHARP, then he will have to report to Pensacola in December.

djbmer,
There is a Facebook page - search for OCS 03-19 and a few options will show up, I am sure of it! Also look for the Officer Training Command Newport page, as that is where any photos will be posted.
Fair Seas and Following Winds!

Hello!
My granddaughter reported to OCS on 2 Sept. Do any of you know if a FB page has been set up for class 03-19?
Thanks so much!

meadow,
The color of the envelope may not be a problem, but do NOT send any musical cards, or big, fat envelopes that look like they could have contraband in them. We were told you don't want to send any mail that would catch the attention of the Drill Instructor, and therefore single out your candidate for the DI to harass.

meadow - I completely agree with jsefamily's advice on OCS: When you learn new instructions/rules, try to follow them but don't stress about it if you mess up. I messed up how I was addressing my letters for several weeks. My son mentioned it when he got phone privileges after week 6 but said it was not a big deal as no one cared. The candidates are the ones who collect the mail from the mailroom and distribute it. They all look out for each other. So If you happened to have already sent a birthday card in say a blue envelope, have a glass of wine and notice the world is still turning the same direction it was before the error. To lower your stress level, send future letters in white envelopes.
