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."

If you've gotten a letter, does it have the same address that you got from the recruiter? My son wrote me and the return address had same div and ship but different street?

Shels, My sons recruiter said to ask around for extra passes and then I believe the recruit that is giving you his passes has to write your names on his form and then when you check in you would check in under that recruits name instead. this is just what the recruiter said to try.
I can't wait for the graduation. He has been gone a week today but it seems longer than that. I am really trying to stay positive. It helps knowing that he is doing something to better himself. -
