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."

Got a letter from my son today. He said "hell week" was over and it wasn't too bad. In fact, he thought it was the most fun he's had so far. He qualified as "expert" sharp shooter today, so has earned a ribbon for his dress uniform. His letter was dated March 2, and he said that they had gotten their pictures taken in dress uniform the previous day. He also mentioned that the entire division did well on their exams. He said that receiving mail was the greatest thing ever, and that by far the hardest thing about boot camp is not being able to talk on a phone....LOL

My letter was dated March 1. My son got his sharp shooter ribbon too! I'm so proud of all of them, they have come so far. He also said hell week was no where near as awful as he thought it would be, not easy but not bad.

My SR said in letter today that they now had 4. Don't know what they are but the recent one is to be able to march w/o RDCs. They must be doing better - said that they now get music when they are folding clothes and some of the guys even dance. LOL
