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."

Rws9d245- haha no way! That's so funny! I bet your son is on the list of friends my husband listed when I asked who his friends were. That's so awesome. He thought it was cool that I got to talk to people who were actually family of his division.

If you search Facebook navy recruit training command and open their page there is an album on their Facebook called "random photos" (I think that's what is it). But click on that album and start flipping through photos. I found my husband (div 245) in one where they're wearing yellow shirts. I had my mom post "ship 9 div 245" on it, I think there's more than one of SR's in yellow shirts, so look for a Connie saying the ship and div and that's the one. And you don't have to have a Facebook to view the pictures.

If they asked for it I don't think it should be an issue. They might make him open it in front of them. But I don't think they're too strict about paper products lol I wonder if you'd be able to get one of those flat rate envelopes from the post office. That way they wouldn't have to worry about putting enough stamps.

Yes, you can send a manila envelope to them to send letters home, it is not a problem.
You can go to USPS and they have a calculator so you can estimate postage amount, then add more. :) Just be sure to put your address as both "to and from" that way if there is an issue it will come to with postage due to you.
