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."

It will have the password that you'll need to download to get your parking permit. If you don't get get the password, it isn't the end of the world, but without a parking permit you will want to stay at a hotel that has a shuttle service to the base (there's usually an option 2 if option 1 isn't working)! Many of the area hotels do provide shuttles. Good luck!!

My son went the same day. He called me that evening to let me know he made it alright. I just got his box of personal items today which included everything he had on him except his wallet and glasses. We should be recieving a letter by next week that tells us his group and division and I think their address too so that we can start to write them. I am sending in the first letter I send some stamps and a calling card. (Patti)

Kimberley; For what it's worth, my daughter left for boot camp the same day. I have not heard from her either. I received "the box" last week and we are hoping to hear something this week. Hang in there!!

No, he claims he hasn't received any mail at all except for his box with his flight info from when he left...
