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."

my son left on the 18th also. No word yet, got the box yesterday, but the recruiter hasn't returned my call yet on Ship and Division. I thought there would be info in the box, was I wrong? We're going out of town and would hate to miss the letter and not be able to write to my son until we get back. :(

Will there be a note from our son/daughter in that letter about graduation? I must have gotten confused, I thought it would be in the box.

I have heard that the can sometimes write a quick note....just not a lengthy letter.

Thanks, a word or two would really put the mind at ease, wouldn't it?

The box only has the clothes--unless you have an unusually thoughtful child who wrote a note for you to find or one that gave you spare change from their pocket! :)
The form letter comes later with the address and PIR info. I did get mine in 6 days, but that was really unusual and fast. Most don't arrive for 10 days and some people wait closer to 15 days or more.
