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."

Yes, using a laptop or computer is easier to make changes on. If using your phone, it is easier to make changes in the desktop view rather than in the mobile format.
He'll have these stripes:
Thank you for your kind words.
Don't forget to make at least change 3.
Yes, now that he is a Sailor, he is able to use the rate (E-2, Airman Apprentice or AA) associated with his contract and rating (AG). See E-1, E-2, or E-3? How did that happen? for more on that.
Click on OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and the Page will open in a new window. Read the Page and follow the directions at the bottom to make change 3 (see the words in bold) so that this page is no longer visible to ANYONE with access to the web. There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes. Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your recruit.
E-2 in the contract means that your recruit is getting paid more than some at the RTC and he will have stripes on his uniform at PIR. See E-1, E-2, or E-3? How did that happen?.
Since your recruit has a contract for Aviation Aerographer's Mate (AG), join Aerographers Mate- AG - Moms and A SCHOOL, BILOXI, MS and check out Airman Family and Friends. There is also a small group, Aerographer Mate Biloxi. You can also check out the Keesler Air Force Base Facebook Page. The Rating Information Card for AG can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ag.pdf. Your then Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.
My daughter is in div 913. We are driving (Ugh) up there since there are 5 of us going. Leaving on Wed. after work, so I don't think we will be going to the meet and greet. We will need sleep to get up early to be in line at 6:30 to get in the gates.
