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."

Boot Camp Questionnaires
Sometimes it is hard for a SR to write. Either it's just not their thing or they just don't get much time.
We like to send these out to try and gather "Intel" on what our SR is experiencing! It was fun to make up and send!
I folded mine up and creased it real good with a ruler! Don't forget an SASE. Might want to put some extra postage on it ...just in case!
Have Fun!
Here is a link to my Blog that has the questionnaire I sent my Sailor.

Does anyone have a idea of how much time they get to read and reply to letters on Sundays?

All we know is that they have "Holiday" time that is considered "free" time on Sundays from 7AM -1PM...but how much of that is for letter writing is unkown. They use it to study and catch up on ironing etc. also for LONGER showers when allowed...later in BC! Usually, in the second half of BC we see reports of time being given during the week...if the Division is doing well...but this is not a guarantee.

Just sent one of these out Monday - took out a few questions that I knew were too early to ask, but left most of them. He will roll his eyes heavily, but I'm sure he'll fill it out.

Hey I sent my son one of these questionnaires to my son he really enjoyed it and the other guys in his division thought that was pretty cool. We received allot of information from him this way.
Thanks
