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."

Are you kidding me? Honey you won't get anything from a week to two weeks depending on your mail. The first week he is there is all medical and paperwork and in the first 3 days 20% of them are sent home. So you won't receive anything for a while. You will get your phone call that is 10 seconds saying I'm here and I'm ok and that's it. Hang in there your rolloer coaster is just starting.

Omg, I know how you feel. My job requires 60 days out for a time off request. And for the summer, we have to put it in for April 15. I also have the least seniority in my entire department. I put in for 12 days this week, with my husband not set to ship until June and rolled the dice. Praying i picked the right weekends and nothing will change. But by April 15, I probably still wouldn't even have a clue.

I got a letter with a form about people who want to attend graduation with a record. As within that form were some letters from him. I haven't received a graduations invite yet. But I'm his letter he did say the first 5days are "p" days. Processions for medical and etc. he's in ship11 division 111. He did say he had to do a chest X-ray because of his tb skin test reaction. And he did say after the 5 days they are going to be transferred to the actual bootcamp across the road.
