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."

Keep your ears open and your mouth shut, and make sure your sense of humor stays intact. Pay attention!
Eat at the airport before you get to the USO on the O'Hare end. Nap on the plane ride, as they will keep you up for a looooong time. Be prepared for an emotional crash during the first week or two. It is normal to HATE something about boot camp right away.
Welcome aboard, shipmate. If I could do it, and I'm a wimp, you can do this!
