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."

There can be lots of things that cause the mail to not get to your SR, remember recruits are handling the mail and it is possible it was sorted to the wrong place. By the time you got his letter he probably received a pile of mail. :)

Oh I didn't realize that other recruits handle the mail. Maybe something did get mixed up at some point. I'm happy to know it's not something that I was doing wrong. Hopefully he will have gotten them by now. <3

I have not gotten a phone call since Tuesday, August 27th. I have gotten letters and the last one I got was Thursday last week. My son was placed in light duty for 4 days due to shin splints and knee pain problems. He had not passed his running test yet. I'm hopeing he already passed it by now. Hope we hear from them soon.

I get mine tomorrow... I can't wait.... When I talked to my husband on Saturday he sounded terrible so I'm praying for the letter to be a bit more upbeat.

Getting so close now! I'm in and out of the woods until Friday morning so I'm REALLY hoping that I don't get unlucky and miss the "I'm a Sailor!" call.
