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 son got a chance to write his first letter home his 2nd Sunday. It was so great to know he was doing well.
My family has been sending him cards and letters. He told us to keep writing the cards and letters because he misses us and loves hearing about whats going on at home.

I don't have this information from the recruiter yet, as I was told I need to wait at least a week; which is tomorrow. Can't wait!! I'm happy for you that you got your info :)
