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."

ship date 2/11/19
Hi,
I am new to this forum, and I'm very eager to find out more about boot camps. My boyfriend's ship date was 2/11/19, but he arrived at Chicago airport around 11:30pm that night and probably got to the camp on 2/12/19 in the wee hours. I received his call around 3:30am on 2/12/19.
When will he be getting his first physical test? When will I receive the form letter? When will his first day of training begin?
I just received the box with his personal items yesterday.
Thanks for reading this!

Hi! My bf’s ship date was 2/11 as well! Have you gotten the form letter yet?? I’m still waiting, and I’m not sure if something is wrong

ameels - it's taking 9-14 business days to receive the form letter so you are still within the window. Hopefully it will arrive any day now!
Be sure to join the boot camp group - you'll find answers to most of your questions there. I left the link in your Welcome on your page.
