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."

My oldest son also went on the 4th.... How's everyone holding up? I'm doing better than expected, or I was.... I've been coping by writing a letter a day, they are now all mailed but I just heard that they have to do push ups to get their mail.... Anyone know if this is true? I feel terrible.....

I hope that's not the case. I'm still waiting to hear where to send letters, the recruiter said he would let me know on Friday, nothing from him yet.

I'm holding on some days its more difficult then others. Hopefully will get his package this week so I will know where to write letters

No, they do not have to do push ups to get mail. See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit.
