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."

navygirlfriend, I forgot to tell you that someone in our group found pink scarves at Old Navy and the majority of us purchased them so we could wear them on graduation day and there is another navy mom name LaLa Ribbon Queen, who makes beautiful blue ribbons and places the sailor's name and div and PIR date on the ribbons. If you are interested.

I didn't hear anything about this, i just got my letters yesterday..got four of them :) crying happy tears. But the latest one he dated was nov 8th, so not sure until tmwr.
I've been addressing the address a little off,
but can someone tell me if it's ok?
SR (last name), (first name) (middle initial)
Ship 03 Div 025
Recruit Training Command
3600 Ohio St.
Great Lakes, IL 60088-3156
since i got his letters, i'm gonna make the correction of adding "uss hopper" and deleting " recruit training command" but do you still think he's getting his letters?
it makes me anxious not knowing, so pleaseee let me know :) thank you ladies -

That address is the one I have been sending my letters too as well. I am not sure if they are getting their letters :/ But since it's not so far off, I wouldn't think its a big deal, but I am not sure.
Congrats on getting your letters :) I got about..10 haha. He wrote me almost every day :) -

I got two new ones today :) he says that theres alot of drama going on, :/
i went up to a post office (a nervous wreck, of course) and asked if they think it'll still make it to him.
he said yeah, just next time write down exactly where he's sending from, and i did. :)
written him everyday, i hope he's getting my letters.
been sending alot of pictures and much love.
only so many more days till we see em :) -

oh and, do you know navygirlfriend if he has gotten your letters yet?
i'm not sure if he has gotten mine, or if he's allowed to receive, but he said last week that some ppl were receiving some and it was really frustrating not getting any mail. -

Hello ladies, do your recruit take stamps with him to boot camp. I am not certain if they give them to them or not, my son took stamps.
