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."

Just a little note to say we are nearing the end of week 3!!  Time is going by rather fast for me, It seems as though my recruit just left although it feels like its been a month since i've heard from him (this last Wed.). Here hoping you all have a wonderful New Year filled with joy and success! Hope we hear from our boys/girls again soon!

Ahhhhhh....we ALL have our times of sweating bullets during bc!  Some things are worth any IT they have to do in order to receive them anyway!  Those bandaids will be a welcome relief to your recruit!

I don't think there will be a problem about the bandaids. Not to worry!  I would imagine the bandaids are for the many blisters they get from those boots!   I posted an answer to your question about mail being held too...yes, it is held for the first 2 weeks...then they receive it 6 days a week.

You aren't intruding...not at all!  Well, some RDC's will make "thick" envelopes be opened in front of them.  Of course, the recruits don't like this...so we always encourage people to keep the letters normal-size. Was your recruit allowed to receive these bandages (prior permission given?)?  Your recruit most likely will have to open it in front of the RDC and a decision will be made as far as being allowed to keep them.  I wouldn't worry about it...on the pictures being printed on paper, it is not only the thick envelope if several or sent, but the limited storage space that they have to keep them in.  Paper stores better!
