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."

Make sure he gets Package A plus the DVD of the PIR. Do you have other family members going? They will be able to take pictures and such. I was unable to go to my son't swearing in becasue I can't walk. His swearing in was during Navy Week in St. Louis and was a big deal because his division is sponsored by the St. Louis Cardinals so I get how you feel. If you don't have other family there...I'll work with someone from your division adn I promise you we will get pictures of your son and get them to you!! you just focus on getting better!!
