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 also, we got his box but no letter yet. Should be soon. Its been said it takes about 7 to 10 days for the first letter with thier address to come. Hopefully they send a little note along with it. My daughter wrote all over the sides in the margins to tell me how she was doing when her first letter came in.

My son left for BC on April 3rd. Was scheduled to leave on Easter but his Recruiter gave him the option to celebrate Easter at home. I got his box on April 5th and his PIR letter today.
