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."

Good for you Jill. Your recruit will LOVE getting lots of letters from home. It's their only link to the outside world......I used to send Matt jokes I'd found on the internet. (Just copy and paste)...

Jill:
What office did he get recruited out of??
-
-
Jill:
Call your recruiter and ask for your son's address. Matt's recruiter called ME with Matt's address two days after he left for boot camp.
You will get his pictures at graduation unless he spent the extra money to have them mailed home. Most of the recruits wait and give their pictures to their parents/wives at graduation. :)

Bina: I'm sorry to hear Dan may be getting sick. I will keep him in my prayers and hope it's only a cold. How come he has to go through another boot camp?
