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."

I didn't receive the letter until Wednesday (a week after he left). I had broken down and called the recruiter for an address before then. I guess all incoming mail is held for 2 weeks and then they get it all at once. I'm not sure if the 2 weeks starts with processing week or week one of bootcamp.
I'm alternately excited about his experience and weepy. Today at work I met 2 parents who have done this in the past and they were so positive and upbeat. That really made the day easier.
Hugs to all moms, wives, gf, and recruits! MJ

Maybe. His mom told me she would let me know when she got information, so I will just wait. I don't even know his recruiter's name and I don't like bugging them for something that I will recieve.

Hey Joana...I feel the same way. I even looked up the recruiting office's number today. My boyfriend left on the 6th. He sent me the box, but he sent the letter to his mom. We just got it today. I hope you got yours today too.

I'd love a phone call this weekend...but not letting myself get to hopeful. Kind of waiting for the phone call to book my plane tickets...don't know about the grad-n-go status and things like that. I will want to spend as much time with him as possible but don't want to just be in Great Lakes. Do you know where your hubby goes from GL? Have a great day.
