Thanks for the Friend request; I hope we can be around for some time to support each other. If there is ever anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask. Take care and blessings to you and yours

He should let you know how to address letters so that he will receive them and still maintain PERSEC (and OPSEC in some cases). Using his Middle name rather than his first name on snail mail to his miltary address would cause confusion and delay mail to him, so don't do that, but using his middle name rather than his first and/or last name online would increase PERSEC--not using any part of his name or yours would increase it even more. When I write to my Sailor at his off base address, I do not include MA2, but when I mail to a military address, I do, but he does not have a Spook rating. Hmmm Let me know what your Sailor says. Some have said that a few of us go overboard on PERSEC, but I think that it is better to reveal less than is permitted and be safe than to post things and risk a problem.

If you aren't sending letters to a military address, then there is no need to indicate his rate/rating in the address.

Have a great day!
